Livelihood (Rizq) is part of Allah’s divine provision. Muslims should ask Allah for beneficial and halal rizq while making lawful efforts. This dua was made by Prophet Musa (AS) when he was in a state of great need.
رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ
Rabbi inni lima anzalta ilayya min khayrin faqir.
My Lord, indeed I am in need of whatever good You send down to me.
