The people of Israel in the desert: should pray for the mann to fall the next day? Because it was sure that the mann will fall the next morning. If yes: does anyone know what prayer they should say?

Yoma 76a:

Why didn’t the mann fall for Israel in larger amounts - maybe enough for a year? A mashal: A king had a son; he gave his son parnassah for a year, and his son came to see him once a year. So he got up and made it a daily portion - and his son came to see him every day. So in the desert, every day every Jew with a few kids would be a little nervous: my family is starving. All of them would turn to G-d and pray properly to their father in heaven.
