What prayers and practices can calm a heart that is anxious about provision?

A heart anxious about provision calms fastest when it leans again on Allah, who guarantees the provision of every creature. Increase your istighfar (seeking forgiveness) and pray for provision that is halal, ample and blessed, and for a contented heart. Keep your prayers on time, because they reorder your priorities and calm the soul. Allah reminds us that “in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest” (Surah ar-Ra'd 13:28). Accompany prayer with halal effort, because prayer and effort complete each other. Give charity, even a little, because giving opens the doors of provision and eases the chest. Leave the outcome to Allah after striving and praying. See du'a & prayer.
