When you don't know which way to turn, the Qur'an gives you the words. It is the dua of the young believers of the cave, who left everything behind and asked Allah for mercy and a rightly-guided path — and you already ask for guidance in every prayer.
إِذْ أَوَى ٱلْفِتْيَةُ إِلَى ٱلْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةًۭ وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًۭاIz awal fityatu ilal Kahfi faqaaloo Rabbanaaa aatinaa mil ladunka rahmatanw wa haiyi' lanaa min amrinaa rashadaa“[Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance."”Qur'an 18:10 · Surah Al-Kahf (Saheeh International)
ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَIhdinas-Siraatal-Mustaqeem“Guide us to the straight path -”Qur'an 1:6 · Surah Al-Fatiha (Saheeh International)
"Guide us to the straight path" is asked in every rak'ah of every prayer — the Qur'an makes guidance something we request continually, not once.
Mean it each time you recite Al-Fatiha, and pair it with the dua of the youths of the cave for mercy and right guidance.
