To ask God for guidance and give Him thanks are a twosome
par excellence.
There is not a litany of things I ask God for when I pray.
Just this one thing: I ask Him for guidance. Having His guidance
I will do the rest. In a similar manner, there is only one thing that
I offer to God: I give Him thanks. In my giving thanks to God I give
thanks for everything. There are many ways to express thanks.

Since I discovered what to ask God for and what to give Him, my
request of Him and expression of gratitude to Him have been
lacking in superfluity. I simply and graciously ask God for guidance
and give Him my thanks. And that has made all the difference in
my prayer life and way of being.
