O Allah, I am Your servant, the son of Your servant, the son

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 أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي وَنُورَ صَدْرِي وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي

Allahumma inni 'abduka ibnu 'abdika ibnu amatik, nasiyati biyadik, madin fiyya hukmuk, 'adlun fiyya qada'uk. As'aluka bikulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsak, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqik, aw anzaltahu fi kitabik, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilmil-ghaybi 'indak, an taj'alal-Qurana rabi'a qalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jala'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi

O Allah, I am Your servant, the son of Your servant, the son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. 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 have named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or taught any of Your creation, or kept in the knowledge of the unseen with You — that You make the Quran the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the departure of my grief, and the relief of my anxiety.

SahihMusnad Ahmad 3712

The Prophet ﷺ said: "No one who is struck by worry or grief and says this except that Allah will replace his grief with joy." The Companions asked: "Should we learn these words?" He ﷺ said: "Yes, everyone who hears them should learn them." This is considered one of the most powerful du'as for depression and sadness in the entire Sunnah.
