OK, let me try my hand at this:
As an addendum you'd use my prefix
Almost in your hand you can find my suffix
My infix is even more thin than a hair
And some might find me on a wing and a prayer
What am I?

$\begingroup$ No, but I tried 3 different titles and all of them turned up as duplicate titles. So I gave up and picked a title I was sure would be unique :) $\endgroup$ – Ertai87 Aug 15 '18 at 20:38

The answer is
PSALM.
As an addendum you'd use my prefix
PS at the end of a letter.
Almost in your hand you can find my suffix
ALM is almost like the PALM of your hand.
My infix is even more thin than a hair
The infix is actually nothing, because there are no letters between PS and ALM in the word.
And some might find me on a wing and a prayer
PSALM.

$\begingroup$ You didn't get the 3rd line meaning correct but the other 3 lines are all correct. $\endgroup$ – Ertai87 Aug 15 '18 at 20:39

$\begingroup$ @Ertai87 Ah, OK. Often in these riddles the infix overlaps with the prefix and/or suffix. $\endgroup$ – Rand al'Thor Aug 15 '18 at 20:44

$\begingroup$ Ah, I wasn't clear on that. I'll take note of that for my next one, thanks :) $\endgroup$ – Ertai87 Aug 15 '18 at 20:44
