Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31412 — What is mentioned on seeking

Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The chief of the prayers for forgiveness is that the servant says: 'O Allah, You are my Lord and I am Your servant. There is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant. I have entered the morning upon Your promise and Your covenant as far as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favours upon me, and I also acknowledge my sins before You, so forgive me. Indeed, none but You can forgive sins.'" Bukhari 6306. Ahmad 122.
