I quote you Proverbs 30:
7 Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die):
8 Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches—
Feed me with the food allotted to me;
9 Lest I be full and deny You,
And say, “Who is the LORD?”
Or lest I be poor and steal,
And profane the name of my God.

Jehovah-jireh is a place named after Jehovah because of what He did there.
Wealth will not heal you.
The blessings of Jehovah are what you rich, and they have nothing to do with money.

This particular question seems somewhat disjointed, but it seems to ask how to pray.
The bible teaches that the absolute requirement for prayer is faith, which includes doing what one knows to be right (even if that knowledge results only from one's inborn conscience). Jehovah God does not listen to the insincere prayers of willful wrongdoers, but He does listen to the sincere prayers of those with an incomplete knowledge of Him.
(Isaiah 1:15-18) Even though you make many prayers, I am not listening; with bloodshed your very hands have become filled. Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the badness of your dealings from in front of my eyes; cease to do bad. Learn to do good; search for justice... Come, now, you people, and let us set matters straight between us,” says Jehovah
(Matthew 21:22) And all the [proper] things you ask in prayer, having faith, you will receive.
True Christians (such as Jehovah's Witnesses) are careful to do three interesting things when they pray.
1. Pray from the heart, rather than repeating some rehearsed prayer..
(Matthew 6:7-9) [Jesus said] But when praying, do not say the same things over and over again, just as the people of the nations do, for they imagine they will get a hearing for their use of many words. 8 So, do not make yourselves like them, for God your Father knows what things you are needing before ever you ask him. 9 “You must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified
2. Pray using the personal name of Jehovah.
(Matthew 6:9) [Jesus said] You must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified
(Psalm 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
3. Pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians 5:20) In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ giving thanks always for all things to our God and Father.
(Colossians 3:17) And whatever it is that you do in word or in work, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, thanking God the Father through him.
(1 Thessalonians 5:18) In connection with everything give thanks. For this is the will of God in union with Christ Jesus respecting you.
