Is this a good prayer for someone who is stressed?

Hey!

I work in military mental health and we had a Muslim soldier come in who was stressed.

I found this dua and prayed with him.

Dua for Anxiety, Worry and Distress

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the worries of the world.

And cowardice and stinginess, and the burden of debt, and being overpowered by men.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had supplications that he never neglected.

Sahih al-Bukhari 6345

Allah, Allah, my Lord, I do not associate anything with Him

(Abu Dawud 2/87. See also Al-Albani, Sahih Ibn Majah 2/335

I just want to make sure it is appropriate.

Also, would it be appropriate to pray with them?

Thank you!
