Some add this prayer:

Hebrew

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתַי
שֶׁלֹּא תַעֲלֶה קִנְאַת אָדָם עָלַי, וְלֹא קִנְאָתִי עַל אֲחֵרִים
וְשֶׁלֹּא אֶכְעֹס הַיּוֹם, וְשֶׁלֹּא אַכְעִיסְךָ
וְתַצִּילֵנִי מִיֵּצֶר הָרָע, וְתֵן בְּלִבִּי הֲכְנָעָה וַעֲנָוָה.
מַלְכֵּנוּ וֵאלֹהֵינוּ, יַחֵד שִׁמְךָ בְּעוֹלָמֶךָ
בְּנֵה עִירְךָ, יַסֵּד בֵּיתְךָ וְשַׁכְלֵל הֵיכָלֶךָ
וְקַבֵּץ קִבּוּץ גָּלֻיּוֹת, וּפְדֵה צֹאנְךָ וְשַׂמַּח עֲדָתֶךָ.

Ps. 60

עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן תּוֹרָתֶךָ, עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן קְדֻשָּׁתֶךָ.
לְמַעַן יֵחָלְצוּן יְדִידֶיךָ, הוֹשִׁיעָה יְמִינְךָ וַעֲנֵנִי׃

Commentary

*A person undertaking a personal fast says the following in Minha before the fast:

English

Master of all worlds, I hereby take upon myself before You a voluntary fast tomorrow. May it be Your will, LORD my God and God of my ancestors, that You accept me in love and favor, that my prayer may come before You, and that You may answer my entreaty in Your great compassion, for You hear the prayer of every mouth.

On the afternoon of the fast, the following is said:

English

Master of all worlds, it is revealed and known to You that when the Temple stood, a person who sinned would offer a sacrifice, of which were offered only the fat and blood, yet You in Your great compassion granted atonement. Now I have fasted, and my fat and blood have been diminished. May it be Your will that this diminution today of my fat and blood be as if I had offered them before You on the altar, and may You show me favor.
