Hello,
I'm confused how to say a person to wish good things for me.
I myself have made some sentences but I am confused and don't know which one is correct.
Would you please be kind enough to have look at my self made sentences and comment on them?
If you were me, how would you say that?

Thank you

The only viable options are:

2. which should read "...say a prayer for me", and
6. which is correct.

If Alex isn't a religious person, then you might be better off asking him to "Wish me luck".

Thanks for answering. Do you mean only religious people say that in the Uk and US?

I don't think many atheists/agnostics/humanists would ask someone to pray for them.

I would find it very strange if someone asked me to pray for them unless they knew that I was religious. I would never ask anyone to pray for me (I am an atheist/humanist) but even if I were religious, I wouldn't ask someone to pray for me unless I knew them very well and knew that it was an appropriate thing to ask them.

I would always go with "Wish me luck" in such a situation.
