Virtue (Bounty) and Your Mercy, for indeed, no one possesses these except You.)
Allahummak-finee bihalaalika 'an haraamika wa 'aghninee bifadhlika 'amman siwaak
Ya Allah, I depend on you
alone, I have no power of my own. When things and times are going well for me, I know they have come from you and that I have no power of my own. In my trials, I rely on you. In my temptations and tribulations, I trust in you. My success and temporary failure are all in your hands and so is my soul. I have no power of my own. Ya Jabaar, Ya Kareem, Ya Malik, Ya Ghaffar, Al-Wadud, Ya Azeez, Ya Latif, I cannot do and live without your Rahama. Save me from all evils, guide my going out and coming in, this moment, today and until the day you have destined for me to die.
O Allah! Purify my heart from
hypocrisy and my actions from showing off (good deeds) and my tongue from lying and my eyes from treachery. Indeed You know the treachery of the eyes and what is hidden in the chests.
O Allah, I ask You for all that is
good, in this world and in the Hereafter, what I know and what I do not know. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from all evil, in this world and in the Hereafter, what I know and what I do not know. O Allah, I ask You for the good that Your slave and Prophet has asked You for, and I seek refuge with You from the evil from which Your slave and Prophet sought refuge. O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and for that which brings one closer to it, in word and deed, and I seek refuge in You from Hell and from that which brings one closer to it, in word and deed. And I ask You to make every decree that You decree concerning me good)

WORRY AND STRESS Allaahumma innee 'abduka wabnu 'abdika wabnu amatika, O ALLAH, I AM YOUR SLAVE, SON OF YOUR SLAVE, SON OF YOUR FEMALE SLAVE, naasiyati bi yadika, maadin fiyya hukmuka, 'adlun fiyya qadaa'uka, MY FORELOCK IS IN YOUR HAND, YOUR COMMAND OVER ME IS FOREVER EXECUTED AND YOUR DECREE OVER ME IS JUST.
