And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us
And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him- 1 John 5:4
Pray what you know is his willSubmit to his will in What you're not sure of

And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night?
Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”- Luke 18:1-8
