The Prayer of St. Augustine to the Holy Spirit is nice:
Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
enlighten our minds to perceive the mysteries
of the universe in relation to eternity.
Spirit of right judgment and courage,
guide us and make us firm in our baptismal decision
to follow Jesus' way of love.
Spirit of knowledge and reverence,
help us to see the lasting value of justice
and mercy in our everyday dealings with one another.
May we respect life
as we work to solve problems of family and nation,
economy and ecology.
Spirit of God,
spark our faith,
hope and love into new action each day.
Fill our lives with wonder and awe
in your presence which penetrates all creation.
Amen.
With love and prayers in Christ.

I pray you leave behind their false teaching and come to know the true mediator between God and man,Jesus Christ."For there is one God and one mediator between God and men,the man Christ Jesus." 1 Tim. 2:5.It's not some priest or saint,but Jesus.We pray threw Jesus to the Father."And call no man your father upon the earth:for one is your Father,which is in heaven." Matt.23:9.I also pray that you will repent and be baptized as it states in the Bible.Acts 2:38,and again tells us we must believe before we are baptized,Mark 16:16,Acts 8:36-38.Please read these scriptures,God will bless and fill that void that has been aching down deep for so long now.

James 1:5-8 If you need wisdom - if you want to know what God wants you to do - ask him, and he will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking. But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. People like that should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. They can't make up their minds. They waver back and forth in everything they do.
P.S. Ask Jesus to intercede for you.

Do you truly love the Lord and believe in Jesus Christ? That is awesome if you do- and if you take the Holy Bible as HIS word-
Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

The best prayer is the one that comes from your heart. The Father already knows what you need, He is just waiting for you to come to Him.

The steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord
He is a lamb to my feet and a light to my pathway
In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path
Cast all your cares on him for he cares for his own

God bless and guide you.
