Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
None of you should say to Allah (like this): O Allah, grant me mercy, if you so likest. The supplication (of his) should (be permeated with) conviction (that it would be accepted by the Lord), for Allah is the Doer of (everything) He likes to do, and there is none to force Him (to do or not to do this or that).
