What prayers and spiritual practices are needed in order to succeed in finding a suitable match?
According to the Talmud, Berachot (8a) and Moed Katan (18b), one should pray for a suitable match, especially when a person reaches marriageable age. Prayer can change a decree. Prayer texts can be found in the article on prayers for finding a suitable match. Spiritual practices include: completing the entire Book of Psalms consecutively; reciting Psalm 121; Psalms 32, 38, 70, 71, 124, Mizrachi, 127, and 128; remembering the names of one’s parents; drinking water after reciting the psalm “Out of the Depths” seven times; and reading Song of Songs for forty days. Assisting with providing for a bride is also considered a spiritual practice.

PLEASE NOTE*
Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
