رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً

"O my Lord! Widen for me my bossom (grant me self-confidence,
contentment, and boldness); And ease my task for me; And make loose
the knot (i.e. the defect restricting speech) from my tongue; So they
may understand what I say"

Allah be upon him) when he was commanded to go to Pharaoh in Egypt.

Dua for anxiety and sorrow #1 Expand
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ نَاصِيَتِي
بِيَدِكَ ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاءُكَ
أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوْ
أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ
أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ
الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي ، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي ، وَجَلاءَ حُزْنِي ،
وذَهَابَ هَمِّي
Translation
"O Allah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your handmaid, my
forelock is in Your hand (i.e. You have total mastery over me), Your
command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just."
I ask You by every name belonging to You which You named Yourself
with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation,
or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that
You make the Qur'an the life of my heart and the light of my bosom,
and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety.
Note: Allah will take away the anxiety and sorrow out of the heart of
him who recites this supplication, as mentioned in this hadith by our
prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
