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 effective. Your judgment of me is just. I ask You by every Name that You have called Yourself, or taught to any one of Your creation, or revealed in Your Book, or have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my worries.

By asking Allah to make the Qur'an the 'springtime of the heart,' we're asking for it to bring life, growth, and renewal to our inner selves, washing away the dryness and stagnation caused by bad habits. As the 'light of the chest,' it illuminates our path, dispelling the darkness of confusion and wrong desires.

The profound humility in acknowledging our servitude and Allah's ultimate control ('My forelock is in Your hand') opens the doors to His mercy and assistance in overcoming our struggles.
Source & Authentication
It was narrated from 'Abdullah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'There is no servant who is afflicted with distress or grief and says: "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 effective. Your judgment of me is just. I ask You by every Name that You have called Yourself, or taught to any one of Your creation, or revealed in Your Book, or have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my worries." – except that Allah will remove his distress and grief, and replace them with relief.' He was asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, should we learn these words?' He replied: 'Yes, it is befitting for whoever hears them to learn them.'
