 The Prophet’s ﷺ supplication during difficulty(al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī):

لا إله إلا اللهُ العظيمُ الحليمُ ، لا إله إلا الله رَبُّ العرش العظيم ، لا إله إلا الله رَبُّ السماوات وربُّ الأرضِ ، لا إله إلا الله رَبُّ الْعَرشِ الكريم

Lā ilāha illā Allāh al-ʿaẓīm al-ḥalīm. Lā ilāha illā Allāh rabb al-ʿarsh al-ʿaẓīm. Lā ilāha illā Allāh rabb al-samāwāt wa rabb al-arḍ. Lā ilāha illā Allāh rabb al-ʿarsh al-karīm.

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Sa`id, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "On the day of Al-Khandaq, we said: `O Messenger of Allahﷺ, is there anything we should say, for our hearts have reached our throats' (meaning in fear and anxiety)

Heﷺsaid:

«نَعَمْ، قُولُوا: *اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَاتِنَا وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِنَا*»

(Yes, say: *O Allah, cover our weak points and calm our fears*)

Then Allah struck the faces of the enemy with the wind, and defeated them with the wind.

This was also recorded by Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal from Abu `Amir Al-`Aqadi.
