Do not burden us beyond our strength
Our Lord, do not place on us a burden we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us and have mercy on us.
Source: Qur’an, Al-Baqarah 2:286
As Allah wills; strength comes from Him
What Allah wills comes to be. There is no strength except through Allah.
Strength comes from Allah
There is no power and no strength except through Allah.
Source: Sahih al-Bukhari, Fath al-Bari 11/213; Sahih Muslim, 4/2076 (supplication or remembrance excerpt)
Sincere devotion and praise
There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. Dominion and praise belong to Him; He has power over everything. There is no power or strength except through Allah. We worship Him alone. Blessing, bounty, and beautiful praise belong to Him. We devote our faith sincerely to Allah, even if those who disbelieve dislike it.
Source: Sahih Muslim, 1/415
Praise and reliance on the Mighty, the Wise
There is no god but Allah alone, without partner. Allah is supremely great; abundant praise belongs to Him. Glory be to Allah, Lord of all worlds. Power and strength come only through Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.

Musa’s prayer before a hard task
He said: ‘My Lord, open my heart for me, and make my task easy for me. Untie the knot in my tongue so they can understand my words. Give me a helper from my family, Harun, my brother. Strengthen me through him, and let him share in my task, so that we may glorify You much and remember You much. You have always seen us.’
Source: Qur’an 20:25–35
An honest entrance and an honest exit
My Lord, let my entering be truthful and my leaving be truthful, and grant me supporting strength from Yourself.
The closing verses of Al-Baqarah
To Allah belongs everything in the heavens and on the earth. Whether you reveal what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it. He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills, and Allah has power over everything. The Messenger believes in what was sent down to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. Each believes in Allah, His angels, His Books and His messengers: ‘We make no distinction between any of His messengers.’ And they say, ‘We hear and we obey. Grant us Your forgiveness, our Lord; to You is the final return.’ Allah does not burden any soul beyond what it can bear. It gains the good it has done and bears the wrong it has done. ‘Our Lord, do not hold us to account if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not place on us a burden like the one You placed on those before us. Our Lord, do not load us with more than we have strength to bear. Pardon us, forgive us and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so help us against those who deny the truth.’
