Do you wonder about asking help from a Higher source?

I've asked God or the Higher source etc for help many many times over the years. Mainly I need help with this chronic PTSD which is severely limiting my life. But I wonder today, others have asked for help and they never got an answer and some even died in various situations. So if their prayers or wishes were not answered, how do I think mine would be or are more important? Do you wonder that sometimes?

It can be a slippery slope ,i hear people on this site saying they prayed and it was answered, so that brings up the question why them but not me? .For me that only adds another layer to the self loathing ,thinking it must be me or my fault that my prayers weren't answered.

@kodiac I've had both answers to prayers that I've liked the outcome and those that I absolutely hated the outcome
I don't think people can understand God the way we understand human life.
But, the Bible says he has no favorites.
And the people who say they had a prayer answered the way they wanted may have had many prayers answered in a way they didn't want or they are not going to have them answered in this lifetime.
