In the context of these books and psalms, wisdom is the ability to discern the best way to achieve the good things in life: success, prosperity, happiness and longevity. Of course, they also assume that wisdom is a gift from God.

Sweety, there is no prayer for doing your best. You just have to pray from your heart! If you are praying to God than pray to Him as if you are talking to Him. God doesn't care how you pray to him. There is no right way to say a prayer. And there is no specific prayer for doing your best. Just pray, "God, please help me to do my best in..." That should do the trick. And if you really believe God will make it happen, then it will. But only if he wants it to. Remember, you are not in control of what happens in the world. God is!
