Feeling a Bit Lost in Faith

Assalamu Alaikum everyone. Just like the title says, I'm having a tough time with my iman right now. I find myself falling into sins, dealing with wrong thoughts, and skipping my prayers way too often. Honestly, it's pretty embarrassing and I feel really ashamed about it. Deep down, I still believe in Islam-I always have. But I've been ignoring my deen for so long and made a lot of mistakes along the way. Now, I really want to turn things around. I have all these worldly goals, but when I think deeper, none of it feels meaningful without a good hereafter. I want to get closer to Allah and His beloved Prophet (peace be upon him), but I just don't know where to start. I've tried praying before, but I keep giving in to laziness and quitting. Sometimes, I even forget to pray altogether-it barely crosses my mind most days. My mom tries to remind me sometimes, but it just frustrates me and makes me want to avoid it even more. I know I'm not on the right path and I need some guidance, but I'm honestly stuck on what to do. Any advice would mean a lot. JazakAllah khair, and may Allah bless you all.

The fact you want to turn back is a sign of iman itself. Keep trying, even if you fail repeatedly. He sees the effort.

Hey bro, been there too. Just start with one prayer a day and build from there. Allah's mercy is huge. Don't be so hard on yourself.

May Allah make it easy for you. I felt the same way. Listening to a short lecture or dua always helps me refocus.
