Didn't help. At all.
The Litany Against Fear is not, as far as I understand it, meant to be a magical incantation. Instead it's a focusing mantra so that someone who was extensively trained in the proper mental techniques could, in moments of stress, recall and invoke those techniques in order to conquer their fears. It is, in short, not the lit torch you bring to brighten a dark room, but the light switch you use to switch on a previously installed light bulb.
