The grace to love God above all else is the primary grace to ask for. Then for perseverance in that love until death and beyond. Then the other virtues and subvirtues, and lastly natural goods, favors, etc. That is how you should pray for yourself.
For others, which should be the majority of who you pray for it you can, it is the same. Those two highest goods, then down to their natural needs.
St. Alphonsus agrees that these are the two principle graces to pray for: “And the two principal graces which we must always ask for (as I have said before), are the love of God and holy perseverance. We must always ask the same graces from the Most Holy Mary, who is called the dispenser of all the divine graces; and when we pray to her, she will certainly obtain them for us from God.”

Pray for those who are not following Jesus. We often pray due to circumstance, not because of conviction. We’ll pray for someone to be healed of the flu, but how often to we pray for those who are spiritually sick? We should pray for spiritual things if we are convinced that the Gospel is a person’s only hope.

Ask for the Holy Spirit, the greatest of all gifts!
‘If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!’ - Luke 11:13

We need thankfulness.
We frequently do not see what we have and forget to be thankful

For the salvation of sinners
For the souls in Purgatory
For an outpouring of the Holy Spirit
For the Church, the Body of Christ. For the Pope.
For wisdom
For peace
In reparation for sins against the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary
In thanksgiving for everything
For the will of God
For the triumph of Jesus’ mercy and the coming of the Kingdom
