Answer:
Alaykum as-Salam,
you can recite the du`a of Sayyidina Jaafar al-Sadiq (Allah be well-pleased with him):
O Allah! Guard me with Your sight that never sleeps!
Cover me with Your unfailing protection!
Save me with Your power over me!
Do not cause me to perish while I have You as my hope!
My Lord, how many favors have You lavished on me for which I thanked you little!
With how many tests have You tried me for which I have shown little endurance!
You for Whose favors I have little thanked, yet You did not deprive me!
You at Whose trials I showed little endurance, yet You did not fail me!
You Who saw me persisting in sins, yet You did not expose me!
You Whose favors can never be counted!
You Whose goodness is never interrupted!
Help me in my Religion with my worldly matters!
Help me in my Hereafter with Godwariness!
Guard me in all that I do not perceive!
Do not leave me to my soul in its vagaries!
You Whom sins in nothing harm and Whom forgiveness diminishes not!
Forgive me that which harms You not!
Give me that which diminishes You not!
All-Giver! I ask you quick deliverance, patient endurance, safety from all trials, and gratefulness for safety!
اللهم احرُسْني بِعَيْنِك التي لا تنام واكنُفْني برُكْنِك الذي لا يُرام واحفَظني بقُدْرَتِك عَلَيَّ ولا تُهْلِكْني وأنت رَجائي. رَبِّ كَمْ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ أَنْعَمْتَ بِهَا عَلَيَّ قَلَّ لَكَ عِندها شُكري! وَكَمْ مِن بَلِيَّةٍ اِبْتَلَيْتَني بها قَلَّ لها عِندَك صَبْرِي! فَيَا مَنْ قَلَّ ثَمَّ نِعْمَتِهِ شُكْرِي فَلَمْ يَحْرِمْني! وَيَا مَنْ قَلَّ ثَمَّ بَلِيَّتِهِِ صَبري فَلَم يَخْذُلْنِي! وَيا مَنْ رَآنِي عَلَى المَعَاصِي فَلَمْ يَفْضَحْني! وَيَا ذَا النِّعَمِ الَّتي لا تُحْصَى أَبَداً! وَيَا ذَا المَعْروفِ الَّذي لا يَنْقَطِعُ أَبَداً! أَعِنِّي عَلَى دِيني بِدُنْيَا! وَعَلى آخِرَتِي بِتَقْوَى! وَاحْفَظْني فِيمَا غِبْتُ عَنْهُ! وَلا تَكِلْني إلى نَفْسِي فِيمَا خَطَرَتْ! يَا مَنْ لا تَضُرُّهُ الذُّنُوبُ وَلا تَنْقُصُهُ المَغفِرة! اغفِرْ لي مَا لا يَضُرُّكَ وَأَعْطِني ما لا يَنْقُصُكَ! يا وَهَّابُ أسألك فَرَجاً قريباً وصبراً جميلاً والعافيةَ من جميع البلايا وشُكْرَ العَافِيَةِ.
