Duas for overcoming sadness and depression
O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek help. Rectify for me all of my affairs and do not entrust me to my own soul even for the span of an eye-blink.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from distress and sorrow, I seek refuge in You from incapacity and laziness, I seek refuge in You from cowardice and stinginess, and I seek refuge in You from the burden of debt and the oppression of men.
"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 forever executed. Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed to anyone in Your creation, or sent down in Your Book, or kept exclusively unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen which You possess, to make the Quran the springtime of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness and the remover of my anxieties."
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 decree concerning me is just.

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Magnificent Throne, our Lord and the Lord of everything, Splitter of the seed and the date-stone, Revealer of the Torah and the Injeel and the Furqan (Qur'an), I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything whose forelock You have grasped. O Allah, You are the First, so there is nothing before You; and You are the Last, so there is nothing after You; and You are the Manifest, so there is nothing above You; and You are the Intimate, so there is nothing closer than You. Relieve us of debt and enrich us from poverty.
