Du’a to Recite When Feeling Anxiety or Sadness

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ، وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ

“O Allah, indeed I seek refuge in You from grief and sadness, from weakness and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from the burden of debt and from being overpowered by people.”
