I have been praying to God for the help of saints that I may pray more affectively. I have been through some difficult times. In my prayers I am praying for others. I have thought that this was like pointing fingers at others for my problems. I never really embraced vocalising what I believe is wrong, and it has become a part of me, a part, I fear, that has lead to great suffering and loss. Is this a sin.
 
Can you refrase your question in another way?
I am not sure I understand it, but I can say one thing and that is that your best friend is Jesus and He can help you with all things.
Spend time telling your problems to Him in all honesty, because nothing is hidden from Him and He appreciates your honesty and He loves you most of all.
Speak to Him concentrated and not in a hurry but dedicated to that conversation.
He will help you.

I am sorry I have been praying for others to change their ways. I fear that they have missused the Holy Spirit, and that it has affected my life. They are people I have love for and yet I feel that they have opened doors to evil in my life. I feel that I have been punished for their choices. My parents and uncles. I feeel this because I have always had a great faith in God, and yet when my parents got divorced I never told them that they were doing wrong. They rewed and I never said anything. They were living in a perpetual state of sin and I was along for the ride. By never saying anything I was in the wrong. I reinstilled these things over and over again my whole life. I finally moved on and left from the place I was raised, found my wife and moved back to better our lives, moving back or something opened the door, and evil tore apart a very loving marriage. By praying for them to see what they have done I feel that I am pushing off the blame. I know that I have problems, but I have been working to change, and they keep stoppig my progress.
