اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ، سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجِلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي.
O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is unfailing. Your justice in my case is inevitable. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed to anyone from Your creation, or sent down in Your Book, or kept secret in the knowledge of the unseen with You, to make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, the light of my chest, the remover of my grief, and the banisher of my worry.

Source & Authentication
It was narrated from 'Abdullah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "No person suffered any anxiety or grief, and then said: 'O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is unfailing. Your justice in my case is inevitable. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed to anyone from Your creation, or sent down in Your Book, or kept secret in the knowledge of the unseen with You, to make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, the light of my chest, the remover of my grief, and the banisher of my worry,' but Allah would take away his grief and compensate him with joy because of it." It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, should we learn these words?' He said: "Yes, indeed. It is necessary for everyone who hears them to learn them." (Sahih Muslim)
