Request mercy to be strengthened from above to request mercy When one comes to express his words before Hashem Yisburach, and cannot open his mouth whatsoever, even still he needs to bolster (himself) to request mercy, that they should help him from above, and they should buttress his strength so that he will be able to ask for mercy. As Our Sages o.b.m. said (Sanhedrin 54), a person should always request mercy that all (the supernal beings) bolster his strength, and Rashi explains, that the ministering angels (malachay hashurais) help him to request mercy etc., see there. (Likutay Halachoas, Laws of the Morning Blessings, law 5:97).
