What is the basic request when we pray?

Answered in 1 source

The basic request in prayer should center on asking God for the Holy Spirit and for His will to be done.

In prayer, while we may bring various petitions before God, the foundational request revolves around seeking His Holy Spirit. According to Luke 11:13, Jesus teaches us to ask our Heavenly Father for the Holy Spirit. This aligns with our need for guidance and empowering as we navigate our lives. The essence of our prayers should also reflect a desire for God's will to be done in our lives, as seen in the prayer model Jesus provided. It is through the Holy Spirit that believers are enabled to understand God's purpose and to experience spiritual growth.
