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, indeed I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your female slave. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is ever effective. Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed to anyone from Your creation, or taught to anyone from Your knowledge, or sent down in Your Book, or kept exclusively to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen, that You make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my worries.

Source & Authentication
A man asked the Prophet ﷺ, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have been troubled by worries and anxieties.' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'Shall I not teach you words that, if you say them, Allah will remove your worries and anxieties, and make your debts easier to bear?' He said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ then taught him this dua: 'Allahumma inni 'abduka, ibnu 'abdika, ibnu amatik, nasiyati biyadika, madin fiyya hukmuka, 'adlun fiyya qada'uka, as'aluka bikulli ismin huwa laka, sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqika, aw anzaltahu fi kitabika, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilm il-ghaybi 'indaka, an taj'ala al-Qur'ana rabee'a qalbi, wa noora sadri, wa jila'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi.' (O Allah, indeed I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your female slave. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is ever effective. Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed to anyone from Your creation, or taught to anyone from Your knowledge, or sent down in Your Book, or kept exclusively to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen, that You make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my worries.)' (Narrated by Ahmad, and authenticated by Al-Albani as Hasan).
