اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا
Allâhümme innî eûzü bike min ilmin lâ yenfe'u ve min kalbin lâ yahşe'u ve min nefsin lâ teşbe'u ve min da'vetin lâ yüstecâbü lehâ.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that is of no benefit, a heart that does not fear, a soul that is never satisfied, and a supplication that is not answered.
Muslim, Dhikr 73, 2722
رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي

My Lord, expand for me my chest, ease for me my task, and untie the knot from my tongue that they may understand my speech.

Allâhümme lâ sehle illâ mâ cealtehû sehlen ve ente tec'alül hazne izâ şi'te sehlâ.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ

O Allah, I seek Your guidance by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask of Your great bounty. You have power and I have none; You know and I know not. You are the Knower of hidden things.
The Prophet (PBUH) used to teach this supplication as he taught chapters of the Quran.
