There are many Holy Spirit-inspired prayers recorded for us in the Psalms God gives to us to borrow and use, to help us out a little bit. It seems like there's something for any occasion. But I've found David's 51st Psalm to pretty much say it best in times of deep repentance and sorrow:

"HAVE MERCY UPON ME, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions..."

This is the one David prayed right after the Bathsheba/Uriah incident... when he found himself under God's Judgment and in peril of losing all... including his kingdom.

I've always found that to be a terrific beginning to a prayer... and it appears that God feels the same way:

"...I have found David the son of Jesse, a MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART..." (Acts 13:22).

But, then... if the sorrow in your heart is genuine... that IS your prayer and God sees it.

"...Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me... and take not thy Holy Spirit from me... The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." (verses 10-17)
