Example for practice
اللهم يا مهيمن، أنت المطّلع على سري وعلانيتي، فأصلح ما خفي من أمري كما أصلحت ظاهره

O Allah, O Al-Muhaymin, You see my secret and my open; set right what is hidden in my affairs as You set right what is visible.

An example for practice, not a transmitted text — following the Quranic way of closing a request with the fitting name (see Ibn al-Qayyim, Bada'i' al-Fawa'id 2/249).
