How about saying: "Give me what I deserve. Your will is flawless so you know best. I fully trust your opinion." (also: Saying "You may give me what I deserve." does not make any sense. God cannot give you something that you don't deserve as that would make Him unjust)
Asking for help won't make you a better person. It makes you a demanding person who questions God's will. And God wouldn't want you to work against His will.

Asking for help shows that you know that God is the one who can help and it shows that you are putting forth an effort to connect with God. That effort can sometimes be the difference between deserving something & not deserving something. |
No, it shows that you are unhappy with your situation and would like a change. But the problem is that you don't know what situation you deserve, yet, a request would suggest that you do so. It's like asking God to send an evil person to Hell, even though only God knows if he/she truly deserves it.

We're going cricles now. I'll just leave you with this last post unless you want more:
Asking for something through prayer is a direct & personal approach to contact God. Do you agree? If you disagree, let me know and I'll explain why latter. If you agree, then keep reading. God appreciates this effort and this could be the effort that influences what a person deserves. Therefore, a prayer can cause change. But not because you are forcing God to do something. And not because you're informing him of new information. God simply likes act of prayer (for reasons already mentioned).
