Feeling Spiritually Numb After Tough Times? You're Not Alone.

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I just want to share something I've been going through. There was a point in my life, during a really hard time, where I felt incredibly close to Allah (SWT). That bond was deep and comforting. Alhamdulillah, that period passed, and I've kept up with my salah, my du'as, and giving sadaqah regularly. But here's the thing: there's this one particular du'a that matters a lot to me, and it hasn't been answered yet, even though I keep making it and trying to trust in Allah's plan. Alongside that, I don't have that same intense feeling of closeness anymore. It's like I'm going through the motions but feel a bit numb inside, even though I'm not neglecting any of my duties. I'm still firm in my faith, alhamdulillah, but the emotional warmth I used to feel is missing. It's a strange place to be-I haven't missed a prayer, but I'm struggling to hold onto that sense of connection and spiritual fulfillment. Has anyone else felt this way after coming through a difficulty? How did you work on rebuilding that closeness with Allah and reviving that feeling in your heart (or just strengthening your iman again)?
