Dua for Gratitude and Continuing Good Deeds
The prayer of Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) AS upon recognizing Allah’s immense favors, pleading for divine inspiration to stay grateful and act righteously.
رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ

Upon receiving blessings, career success, milestones in life, and after prayers
"Awzi‘nī" (أَوْزِعْنِي) is a pleading to restrain one’s baser desires and infuse the soul with continuous alertness of gratitude. Notice that entry into Paradise is explicitly attributed to divine Rahmah (mercy), not one’s deeds alone.
Found in both Surah An-Naml (27:19) and Surah Al-Ahqaf (46:15) as the ideal prayer when reaching maturity and reflecting upon life achievements.
