Hmm. To find prayers that don't in some way acknowledge religious beliefs is kind of a tough assignment. The only one I can think of right now, which may still be too religiously-oriented for you, is a prayer commonly attributed to St. Francis of Assisi. It seems to resonate with people across many belief systems, and is certainly adaptable (as are all prayers) so maybe it will at least give you a starting point.
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

I think I get what you are trying to say, so like it is a non religious-affiliated prayer is all upon you. I am sure God will listen

How can you pray if you are not religious? If you are praying, you believe in a supernatural power to pray to. If you are not religious, you don't believe in such a power and prayer would be nonsensical.

If you believe in a god and are praying then there shouldn't be any laid out. It should just be between you and your god. It shouldn't be what someone else has come up with.

There's no such thing, since the definition of prayer is talking to God.

Pray to Harry Potter, it would do the same thing as praying to the Christian god.

Aren't you kind of missing the point here? To whom or what would non-religious people pray? Okay I admit it, I pray to the IPU (invisible pink unicorn).
