Qunut Nazilah should be recited after standing up after ruku in the last rakah. The Muslim got in trouble or disaster situation should recite it in all obligatory prayers, until this grief (naazilah) passes. Also it is prescribed not to mention other things in the du’a and if the concrete disaster, misfortune or grief passes away, this Qunut should be recited no longer in the prayers by the Imam.

، وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ ، وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ ،إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ

إِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ ، وَلَا يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ ، تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّـنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ
