Why do we pray ?

Saw this in Business World, 1 Aug 11 ( pg 49) :
'we pray for ourselves at best for our family. But not for the society or the country. Collective good is not a thought that occurs to us. In a priority of things, 'I' comes before collective good'

this is a discussion some of us had before, several times - why do we pray ?

  • for ourselves ?
  • for our families?
  • for someone who is sick or needs help to succeed in any endeavour? Or just needs 'help' !
  • Or Just Pray, as God knows what we want ? Rather leave it to Him to decide, what we want...?
I am for the 3rd option. That way we are closer to 'total surrender'.  
If at all we want to 'ask', pray 'SAMASTHA LOKA: SUKHINO BHAVANTHU'
