Prayer and concerns/guilt

I would like to ask a question to those that are more spiritually mature and have gone through a similar situation or perhaps those that aren't more spiritually mature but have experienced it or are experiencing it now...so basically anyone

I am finding that I feel like I have no right to make requests or pray for the health and safety of others or whatever, a lot of general things in relation to my life.

I feel that with all the suffering in the world, I am selfish to consider my own personal situations in prayer.

Intellectually I know that God knows me and has a plan for all of us, but I can't help feel a little like "survivors guilt" so to speak, that I have a roof over my head, food on the table, an education a stable family life and two beautiful children who are healthy and relatively happy when there is so much suffering. What did I deserve to have a better life than those that are suffering?
