How can I keep faith in my duas when nothing seems to change?

As-salamu alaykum. I was born and raised Muslim, and I truly believe in Allah and Islam. But lately, I'm struggling with my duas. I used to have such strong certainty that my prayers would be answered. I prayed for years, did everything I could, but nothing changed. Now I've kind of stopped asking Allah. It feels like He doesn't care about me or won't help me. Whatever I'm going through, I feel alone in it. I just don't know how to ask anymore.

Try to make dua in sujood, especially in the last third of the night. And be specific. Sometimes we don't realize the answer because it comes in unexpected forms.

Brother, I feel your pain. But our relationship with Allah isn't transactional. Keep talking to Him, even if it's just to vent. That itself is worship.

Bro, I've been there. Keep making dua, even if it's just a whisper. Allah hears you. Sometimes the delay is a test or a redirection. Don't lose hope.

I stopped making dua for a while too, but then I realized I was putting my trust in the outcome, not in Allah. Trust His plan, akhi. He's always listening.

Wa alaykum salam. Remember, Allah answers in three ways: yes, yes but later, or something better. Maybe He's protecting you from something you can't see. Hold on.
