Prayers should be in your own words and from your own heart.

The best prayer is one that simply comes from the heart, your own words, not someone elses. God wants you to talk to Him, not recite something. When Jesus paid our sins and the Holy Spirit was delivered to us, we were given the awesome ability to pray to God the Father by the saving grace of Jesus. He knows what is on your heart, and your needs. Tell Him in your own words. Big words, eloquent speech, it means nothing to Him. Sincerity, truth, and humbleness do. You will get better results with your own prayer, no matter if you think it doesn't add up to someone elses or not, as you would with a borrowed prayer. Another human being has no true idea of your need. They can pray WITH you, but should not pray FOR you. And always remember, God gives us what we NEED, not what we WANT.

You know in Deuteronomy chapter 28 it talks about the blessings and the cursings that are in life. And in Galations 3:13-14 it says that we have been freed from the curse. So read Deuteronomy 28 and pray those blessings over your life. Especially the one that says that we are always above and NEVER beneath. And then read the curses. LOOSING YOUR CHILD IS IN THERE. Now as a Christian, you have been FREED from the curse so tell Satan to back off, Jesus did and so can you. You will have your children and win whatever has formed against you in Jesus' name!
When you start to feel doubt, tell satan (this is my paraphrase from the KJV) "Go away Satan! You are an offense to me and God because you care for the things of men and not the things of God!" Then the devil HAS to flee. Then proclaim your freedom from the curses again and proclaim you blessings again.
much love!

Here are some sites that might help, although I'm not sure how specific they get:

The following site has prayers organized by religion, milestones in life (including parenting, divorce, etc), need (including comfort, compassion, praise) and "other" (including relationships & abuse).

http://beliefnet.com/prayeroftheday/prayer_main.asp

This site has a long list of different prayers (I'll link you to Christianity) but aren't well-organized:

This Yahoo group is a prayer group that might offer you support:

Best of luck.

EDIT: and for the record, please ignore anyone who criticizes you for praying. As a proudly left-wing and generally atheistic person, I am disgusted with any "left-wing" people who claim to hate intolerance and discrimination, yet do nothing but insult and derogate Christians based on wild assumptions about them. Some of my most tolerant and open-minded friends have been religious. We all have things we do to get by, and they are no position to judge you for making a personal decision about yours. You have the right to pray without other people attacking you. Anyone who hates a whole group of people based on their private beliefs, rather than their deeds, is not using their brain or heart.

It would be better for you to say your own prayer to God instead of reciting someone else's prayer. Nowhere in the bible does it say that God only gives a Christian what they NEED and not what they WANT. As long as you are living according to his word and you are not asking for something that is forbidden according to his word the Bible says that all we have to do is ask and believe that it will be given to us, and it will be given.

Your own thoughts and words are just as acceptable to God as anyone elses. So pray from your heart.

"Havefaith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." (Mark 11: 22-25)

this prayer will work on anything:

"Dear God, you are magical. Please wave your magic wand and say some magic words to make my ____________ work out in my favor, even if it screws someone else. And God, I know that statistically speaking prayer doesn't work, but weak-minded humans like me need to feel in control over things that we really have no control over, so we make up fairy tales like You to make us feel better. Even so, if it is Your will, please grant me this wish oh Magical Genie and then I'll only have 2 left. It is the least you can do since I rubbed your magic lamp. I ask this through Christ, our Lord, Amen"

I hope this helps. Good Luck!!!

If you don't mind my saying so..it's not the words themselves that are important. God knows your heart and your needs even before you speak them. Take the time to go to a quiet place and just seek Him. Talk to Him, as you would a person that you are trusting with the most intimate revelations of your heart and life. God already knows what is going on...all you have to do is humble yourself, ask Him to be Lord over (whatever situation it is)....that you will represent Him in your thinking, speaking and doing, and that He will guide you in what to say and do. I always say to God, this (or that) is what I would like to see happen, but, what is most important is that Your will be done, and that you can change my heart, if it needs changing, to accommodate whatever the outcome of this situation is.

When you present your life before God (and that includes all circumstances of your life) as a piece of clay that you willingly allow Him to mold and shape for His good purposes...you don't have to exhaust yourself hoping for certain outcomes; you can trust Him fully with everything, and rest in the knowledge that "all things work for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose".

I pray that you can come to know this perfect trust in Him for all in your life, in Jesus' name.

Why do you need specific prayers? If god listens to prayers, I doubt he/she/it cares about the wording of these prayers. Just make it up!

Let me get this straight, not only are you incapable of thinking for yourself, you are so thoroughly brainwashed that you need someone else to compose a prayer to your magic sky-pixie?
You have my pity.
