Most of us probably think it is selfish to ask
for something for ourselves---like what right do I have taking up
God's time to ask for something for me.
So consider being a parent. Most of us with children
want them to come to us with anything and everything. Even though
we don't always give them everything they ask for, we do want to
talk it over with them, and for them to include us in their lives.
This turns out to be a pretty close similarity to how the Bible
describes God's feelings for His children---you! It even says in
one place that there are some blessings we don't have simply because
we don't ask for them. He wants to hear more from us---not less.
