What is it that I want, all my desires will come true as King David tells me in his Psalms. What am I praying for, what is my petition, how can I be helped by God, what should I tell Him I want? Not making a list and "checking it twice" for Santa Claus to deliver into my chimney as he supposedly slides down into the houses of all good children. Not needing to be a child to receive favors, to be a full-fledged adult, to know what you like and what you do not like, to find without luck but instead with a prayer to God to enable you, to enable you to petition Him anytime of the day and season, not needing to wait till Xmas and then finding out Santa Claus is a lie and he will leave you nothing.
Instead go directly to God Him/Herself, to call to God out loud, with pursed glossed lips and to give God sweet song in exchange for your list of what you want, when all you want is Him, nothing else, no material objects, nothing that your neighbor has that you do not have. To tell yourself after David did, that all one needs is the Lord, no one, nothing else, but do not confuse Him with Santa Claus or you will get nothing from no one, just a stuffed up chimney without a chimney sweep.
