Supplication is one of the most powerful tools we have as Muslims. It is a direct line of communication with Allah. For whatever feeling you are trying to convey, there is a corresponding prayer. Have a look at our list below.
اللهم إن كان هذا الأمر خيرا لي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ
Oh Allah, if my intended action is best for me, make it destined and easy for me, and grant me Your Blessings in it.
اللهم طهر قلبي من كل سوء اللهم طهر قلبي من كل ما يبغضك اللهم طهر قلبي من كل غلٍ وحقدٍ وحسد وكبر
Oh Allah, clean away all forms of evil from my heart. Oh Allah, clean my heart and remove everything that displeases you. Oh Allah, clean my heart of every form of bitterness, hard feelings, and jealousy.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْهَمِّ وَالْحُزْنِ وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ
O Allah, I take refuge in you from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being overpowered by men.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the decline of Your blessings, the passing of safety, the sudden onset of Your punishment and from all that displeases you.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ

O Allah, I take refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being overpowered by men.

O Allah, 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.
رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي
Oh lord, expand my chest, ease my affair, and untie the knot in my tongue and perfect my expression.
اللهم إني أسألك حبك وحب من يحبك والعمل الذي يبلغني حبك
اللهم اجعل حبك أحب إليّ من نفسي وأهلي ومن الماء البارد
O Allah! I ask You [to grant me] Your Love, the love of those who love You, and deeds which will cause me to earn Your Love. O Allah! Make Your Love dearer to me than [the love of] myself, my family and the cold water [winter].- At-Tirmidhi.
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
O Lord, give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the punishment of the Fire.

O Lord, give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the punishment of the Fire.
And in that moment, it can feel like the world shifted on its axis. Suddenly it all goes dark. People and places we thought were safe are no longer welcoming to us. Even those who stick by our side can suffer the brunt of our suspicion: Are you going to leave me, too?
On the hardest night of his life, Jesus asked his three closest friends to stay close and pray with him, but they fell asleep. After they failed Jesus three times, Judas betrayed him, and all eleven followers abandoned him. One of them, Peter, even denied knowing him at all.
Yes, in quoting the Psalms, Jesus fulfilled prophecies spoken long ago through the psalmists and the prophets. But in doing so, he also modeled a way to pray when hurt runs so deep that we lack adequate words.
Lord God, your love cannot compare to any human love! You never leave me or turn away from me. Your faithful love extends higher than the sky above, and anyone looking for a safe place to land will find their refuge in you. Thank you for never turning anyone away. You are so good and kind.
Lord God, you welcome me to come to you just as I am. You never reject or abandon those who seek your face. Thank you for spreading your cloak of faithful love over me. Thank you for hiding me in the shadow of your wings. I trust that you are doing a good work, even in this heartbreak, and that you will keep me close while you heal my heart. I trust you. And I love you, too.
In fact, the Bible tells us that Jesus is praying for us (see Heb. 7:25), so even if we stumble over our words as we attempt to pray, Jesus is right alongside us, praying on our behalf in the heavenly throne room.

All praise is due to Allah. We praise Him, seekHis aid, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah fromthe evil which is within our selves, and from the evil in ouractions. Whoever Allah guides, none can send astray; whoeverAllah sends astray, none can guide.
