A Killer of a Riddle
I can be calming to some, and annoying to others.
I am asked for in prayer, especially by mothers.
I am there when you sleep, but gone when you rise.
Everybody needs me, especially the wise.
If you think I don't exist, it is quite the contrary.
You can always find me at your local library.
A Key to Success
I have some friends in low places, and some that get high.
I am usually found in bars, but a drink I never buy.
I step on a scale, not to weigh but to measure.
And if the reading is right, I can bring you much pleasure.
Sometimes I can be sharp, but naturally, I come out flat.
The alphabet I know from A to G, but none after that.
Coming Out of My Shell
Some say I am big, but really I am not.
I blush under pressure, especially when hot.
I curl up by the fire, like a small sleeping pup.
Just waiting for my owners to come butter me up.
You can find me while surfing, or using the net.
Just keep me in the water...I prefer staying wet.

A couple of you are close.
The last one is not lobster. The first line of the riddle is a hint.

Lobster is very close, and would work, but I was thinking of something else.
Think "Jumbo".
