Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Nothing can change the divine decree except prayer.”

Through faith and prayer, the impossible can say, “I’m possible!” Our drowning situation in depression stress and anxiety can be turned upside to more healing, stronger courage, and living more meaningful.

Through this pandemic, prayers for stress and anxiety is much needed and appreciated. We all need prayers to give us the helping hand to get back up again but this time, we need more powerful prayers than EVER BEFORE!

Here are my top prayers for stress and anxiety I’ve personally read and they deliver healing.

It has the potential to rain miracles for you to wash away all your pain, worries, anxiety — the apparent ones and the ones you fight deeply inside.

Prayers For Stress And Anxiety — Here Are The Chosen Ones:

Prayer #1

اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَا أَنْتَ

“O Allah (God), it is Your mercy that I hope for, so do not leave me in charge of my affairs even for a blink of an eye and rectify for me all of my affairs. None has the right to be worshiped except You.” [Abu Dawood]

Prayer #2

When the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of God be upon him) felt any distress, he would say:

Ya Ḥayy Ya Qayyūm, bi-Rahmatika astagheeth.”

meaning: ‘O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, in Your Mercy I seek relief.’ (Tirmidhi)

Prayer #3

Close your eyes, and ponder over the vastness of the ocean and the sky. And say, “God, be generous with me and pour down for me of every good you send down.

continue with the following:

رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ

My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need. [Quran, 28:24]

Prayer #4

Let’s be honest. Nothing is ever easy to deal with and overcome until God makes it easy. And nothing is complicated when God makes it easy. So here’s one of my mostly recited prayers when I am struggling with stress and anxiety:

اللّهُـمَّ لا سَـهْلَ إِلاّ ما جَعَلـتَهُ سَهـلاً، وَأَنْتَ تَجْـعَلُ الْحَـزَنَ إِذا شِـئْتَ سَهـْلاً

O Allah, there is no ease except in that which You have made easy, and You make the difficulty, if You wish, easy. [ibn Ḥibbān in his saḥīḥ # 2427]

Dear God, please make this storm calm for me. The Most-Loving God, Shower me with ease of peace, healing, strength to rise back up stronger than I was ever before. I know without the slightest doubt in my heart, You can make miracles rain.

To You, nothing is ever DIFFICULT! You are The All-Powerful. Everything submits to Your Will. I Kindly ask for Your Kindness that you make my prayers of stress and anxiety be fulfilled.

I am certain God, that You’ll not leave me hanging and be pulled by this pain. Indeed You are shy to return my hands empty without having my prayers being accepted. Dear God, You love to be called out for all matters of our life so here I am! Embrace me with Your Grace! Amen

prayer #5

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَلَاءِ، وَدَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ، وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَشَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ

Allahumma inni a’uzu bika min jahdil-bala’, wa darki shaqa’, wa su’il-qadha’, wa shamatatil-a’da’

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from severe calamity, from misery to fall upon me, from misfortune in the decree, and from the joys of the enemies.

(Sahih Al-Bukhari)

أُعيـذُكُمـا بِكَلِـماتِ اللهِ التّـامَّة، مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْـطانٍ وَهـامَّة، وَمِنْ كُـلِّ عَـيْنٍ لامَّـة

“I seek protection for you in the Perfect Words of Allah from every devil and every beast, and from every envious blameworthy eye.”

(Hisnul Muslim)
