Any prayers that we offer, whether for ourselves or for others bring us closer to God since it is a direct connection right to Him. As such, you'll feel enriched if you truly offer prayers and not only speak, but LISTEN as well. I've been on a mission trip this last week, and God talked to me constantly, it was amazing. If you'd like to pray for me, pray that I would have wisdom and discernment concerning an issue at work that I've been presented with in the week that i was gone, it's really complicated, and I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do. An employee under my direct supervision acted out and I'm not entirely sure if it was justified or reactionary, but either way, as loyal as he is, I'm being forced into the judges seat to determine what the right course of action is.
