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 effective, and Your judgment concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed to anyone from Your creation, or kept to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen which You possess, that You make the Quran the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my worries.

Source & Authentication
Narrated 'Abdullah: The Prophet ﷺ said, "No person suffers any anxiety or grief, and then says: O Allah! I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your handmaid. My side is in Your hand. Your decree for me is enacted, and Your judgment on me is just. I ask You by every name You have called Yourself, by which You have taught it to any of Your creation, or which You have sent down in Your Book, or which You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the light of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness and the remover of my anxiety, but Allah will remove his anxiety and grief and will replace them with joy." The Companions asked: 'O Messenger of Allah! Should we not learn these words?' He replied: 'Yes, it is necessary for everyone who hears them to learn them.'" (Musnad Ahmad)
