اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the passing of Your blessings, the change of Your protection, the suddenness of Your punishment, and all that which incurs Your displeasure.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matika, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatika, wa fuja'ati niqmatika, wa jami'i sakhatik

How to Read

It's a powerful supplication to be made alongside seeking medical treatment.

‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: 'There are two conditions that are the most hateful to Allah among His servants: that He is looked upon as having a deficiency in the world, or he looks upon one of His servants as having a deficiency. And the most hateful of the supplications to Allah are the hateful supplications. And the most hateful of the men to Allah is the man who is spiteful in his manner towards his family. And the most hateful of the voices to Allah are the harsh voices. And the most hateful of the men to Allah is the man who is spiteful in his manner towards his family.
