Context & meaning
One request, extended across three objects. Help is what is asked for, and what it is help toward follows as a list: remembering Him, thanking Him, worshipping Him. Only the last carries a qualifier — in the best of manners — so the standard attaches to the worship rather than to the remembering or the thanking. What is sought is assistance in doing, not something to be given.
When & how to recite
Mu'adh reported this, and the chapter places it after the final Tashahhud.
Reflection
All three objects are things the speaker is to perform. The supplication asks for help in performing them rather than for the obligation to be lightened.
