They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us what (cow) she is. Lo! cows are much alike to us; and Lo! if Allah wills, we may be led aright.
Al Baqara 2:70 connects “Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us what cow she is” with worship that turns need, gratitude, and attention toward Allah, inviting attentive reading rather than a hurried conclusion. Return to this ayah in salah or dua and ask what you need to bring honestly into salah and dua.
