I have read somewhere that the invocation that I have bolded above is of a dae'ef hadeeth (weak). It is better to avoid it.

Instead we should use duas from Saheeh transmissions that we have.
Please look at the link here :- http://www.islamawareness.net/Dua/Fortress/068.html

Both of these duas in that link are authentic Insha'Allah.
