You won't get advice, you won't get questions and you may not get prayers either.
Time is the most precious thing we have and it's not to be squandered on trivia. A prudent Catholic will have some idea of what he is sacrificing his time and prayers for. God knows we have so much to pray for.
Knowing of others who need prayers increases one's fervour for the time of prayer, and encourages us to say a short daily prayer for every soul in need. Simply reading about the sufferings of others, or even an implication that someone is suffering, increases our compassion and love of neighbour, powerfully contributing to growing in the love of God.
To pray for the living and the dead greatly increases one's merit before Our Lord, for it is a spiritual work of mercy.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. St. Alphonsus Liguori, for example, teaches that it is a sign of very little love of God to omit praying for poor sinners and for the poor souls in purgatory, on a daily basis. There is no need to say a particular prayer each for every prayer request we receive.
An example is given below of a simple prayer that covers everyone that one is bound, whether in charity or in justice, to pray for.
Why do you imply that this person is being trivial? No wonder people have been abandoning the Faith in droves for decades, encountering people like you who are exceedingly cold, making judgements before knowing anything. The same coldness has been poisoning the Church for centuries. Do not contribute to the sorrow for which the Sacred Heart of Jesus continually suffers, on account of this coldness.
O most holy Heart of Jesus, shower Thy blessings in abundant measure upon Thy Holy Church, upon the Supreme Pontiff and upon all the clergy; grant to the just perseverance, convert sinners, enlighten unbelievers. Bless my relatives, friends, and benefactors; assist the dying, deliver the holy souls in purgatory; and extend over all hearts, the sweet empire of Thy love. Amen.
