Justice,
I think the opposite is actually true. God sometimes gives us more than we can handle so we can learn to depend totally on Him.
Of course it is all right to pray for yourself and your needs. Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
When Jesus died on the cross, he died for your sins, but he also wants to live his life in you. Here is a quote I have heard a lot lately....
Jesus gave His life FOR us, so that He could give His Life TO us, so that He could live His Life THROUGH us.
