Oh! Jesus, because of your bitter passion and the wounds on your sacred body, Jesus, merciful Jesus, have mercy on the souls in purgatory. Because of your bitter agony and death on the cross, give the souls in purgatory especially (Name any one you know) eternal rest. Eternal Rest, grant unto them. O Lord and let the perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

O Lord, who art ever merciful and bounteous with Thy gifts, look down upon the suffering souls in purgatory. Remember not their offenses and negligences, but be mindful of Thy loving mercy, which is from all eternity. Cleanse them of their sins and fulfill their ardent desires that they may be made worthy to behold Thee face to face in Thy glory. May they soon be united with Thee and hear those blessed words which will call them to their heavenly home: “Come, blessed of My Father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”

Here are daily prayers for those in Purgatory:

Personally - I would simply ask my Father in heaven to grant my petition in whatever way and by whatever manner he saw fit.

If I wished specifically (as a help to these souls) that the petition be answered through their intercession, then I would ask God…and then ask them to pray to God for and with me.

Then - I would trust in God to do what is best…

Peace
James

How would i do it…
I am sorry but I personally believe this isn’t how God works and therefore don’t pray in this way. This isn’t what you want to hear I know but just simply saying how I personally and sincerly believe this isn’t how God works.

I would spend time thinking about my options and talking about them with trusted people and may be do the for’s and against comparison list exercise. Doing a little bit of research if its not overloading me.
