I don't know if the following helps you but i think that all the answers we need are provided by God in His Word .
By declaring God is my Lord we accept that He takes control of our lives AND give that control to Him. Nevertheless He wants us to keep asking for our needs until He answers as the widow in the parable of the unjust judge kept doing. LUKE 18: 1-7. bearing in mind MATHEW 6:33 which means that if we give priority to our spiritual needs then the Lord will fulfill our material needs and MATHEW 26:39 which means that sometimes God's plan for us maybe a bit different to our plans for ourselves and JAMES 4:3-4 which means that we don't ask for bad things or things like say winning the lottery or getting rich AND always have faith when asking MARK 11:22-26.
Those are few but ...actually a whole book can be written about asking and receiving from God

Gill's Commentary of: 3 John 1:2
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper___ Or succeed in all temporal affairs, in the business of life, in which he was; and as success of this sort depends upon the blessing of God, which maketh rich, it is to be wished and prayed for from him:
and be in health; that is, of body, which above all things above all outward mercies, is the most desirable; for without this, what are the richest dainties, the largest possessions, or the best of friends? without this there can be no comfortable enjoyment of either of them; and therefore of this sort of mercies, it is in the first place, and above all others, to be wished for, and desired by one friend for another. The rule and measure of this wish is according to the prosperity of his soul,
even as thy soul prospereth: the soul is diseased with sin, and may be said to be in good health, when all its iniquities are forgiven; and may be said to prosper, when having a spiritual appetite for the Gospel, the sincere milk of the word, it feeds upon it, is nourished by it, and grows thereby; when it is in the lively exercise of faith, hope, and love; when spiritual knowledge is increased, or it grows in grace, and in the knowledge of Christ Jesus; when the inward man is renewed day by day with fresh strength; and when it enjoys communion with God, has the light of his countenance, and the joys of his salvation; and when it is fruitful in every good work.
Mishael: this would be a fine prayer to pray for yourself. This time in history, we need all of the Lords blessings working for us.
" Hebrews 11:1"
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Yes do it dear "Erika Davis", you will not regret a second!
A few years ago i made an apology to the Lord. Today i can not say this to Him. And the blessings come in turn, dear. I see the things happening around me that it is the Lord Jesus. Lord Jesus, take my heart i surrender everything to You, Amen.
Ephesians Chapter 3 God bless us all in Jesus Christ holy Name above all other names, Amen.
