From Duas from the Qur'an

Rabbi ishrah li sadri, the dua of Musa

Arabic
رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي ۝ وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي ۝ وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي ۝ يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي
Transliteration

Rabbi-shrah li sadri, wa yassir li amri, wa-hlul 'uqdatan min lisani, yafqahu qawli.

Translation

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

From the Sunnah

Musa said this before confronting Pharaoh. A go-to before hard conversations, presentations, or asking for something difficult.
