The prayer of seeking guidance from Allah
O Allah, I ask You for its [this matter's] goodness and the goodness of its nature and goodness of what You have destined for me through it, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of its nature and the evil of what You have destined for me through it. O Allah, if You know that this matter (mention your need here) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood and for my Hereafter (or he said: for my present and my future), then ordain it for me and make it easy for me, and then bless it for me. And if You know that this matter is evil for me in my religion, my livelihood and my Hereafter (or he said: for my present and my future), then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and ordain for me whatever is good wherever it may be, and make me pleased with it.

For indeed You decree and I cannot decree, You know and I know not, and You are the Knower of the unseen.
