Provision is apportioned and written, and yet we were commanded to ask for it — because asking is itself worship, and because supplication is among the means by which what is decreed comes about.
The most comprehensive is what the Prophet ﷺ taught 'Ali: 'O Allah, suffice me with what You have made lawful against what You have forbidden, and enrich me by Your bounty so I need none besides You.' Note that it does not ask for wealth as such; it asks for sufficiency from what is lawful and independence from people — and that is provision in truth.
Among the strongest means is seeking forgiveness: 'Seek forgiveness of your Lord; indeed He is ever Forgiving. He will send rain upon you in abundance, and give you increase in wealth and children.'
اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ، وَأَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ
Allahumma ikfini bihalalika 'an haramik, wa aghnini bifadlika 'amman siwak.
O Allah, suffice me with what You have made lawful against what You have forbidden, and enrich me by Your bounty so that I need none besides You.
اللهم اكفني بحلالك عن حرامك، وأغنني بفضلك عمن سواك
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا
Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbala.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision and accepted deeds.
اللهم إني أسألك علما نافعا، ورزقا طيبا، وعملا متقبلا
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
Astaghfirullaha alladhi la ilaha illa huwal-Hayyul-Qayyumu wa atubu ilayh.
I seek the forgiveness of Allah, besides whom there is no god, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer, and I turn to Him in repentance.
أستغفر الله الذي لا إله إلا هو الحي القيوم وأتوب إليه

'Allahumma ikfini bihalalika 'an haramik, wa aghnini bifadlika 'amman siwak' (at-Tirmidhi).
Yes — it is stated in the Qur'an on the tongue of Nuh: seeking forgiveness brings abundant rain, wealth and children.
