Lots of people feel uncomfortable with this form of prayer so rest assured you are not alone. Perhaps, though, it is time to stop running away from supplication. Some feel that it is arrogant to ask God for things. May the arrogance not lie more in how we ask than in the fact of our asking. We are entreated, exhorted, and encouraged in many places in scripture to ask for what we need, for what others need.
Some people are afraid to ask.
You are telling God the answer. Obviously, there is a bit of tension here. I believe it lies in attitude. Do not shrink from asking out of false humilty. Neither position honours either yourself or God.
