Nehemiah2:5

5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king , and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight , that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers sepulchers, that I may build it.

My request whatsoever it is I humbly and wholly submit it to the Kings good pleasure being resolved to acquiesce in it.

I pretend no merit, but am an humble suppliant for thy grace and favour, whereof having received some tokens I am thereby emboldened to make this further request.
