How to feel Allah's guidance when I'm feeling low?

Assalamu alaikum, lately life's been a bit heavy on my heart. I love my family, but sometimes I feel like I'm just a burden, and they unintentionally make me feel that way. I'm pregnant, alhamdulillah, but my emotions are all over the place. I often cry while making dua to Allah, but I wish I could hear Him respond, you know? It sounds strange, but I don't really have close friends or anyone who truly gets me. I hold no grudges, but I feel like only Allah knows my real self, my sadness, and this soft heart of mine. I wish He could speak to me directly, motivate me. I read the Quran daily, but I'm seeking something more. I don't know what to do. I'm just sad and I need my Allah sometimes. Any advice on feeling His presence more?

Ya ukhti, I've been there. I started listening to soothing recitations of Surah Maryam. It brought me so much comfort. Allahuma barik, you're growing a soul!

I feel you so much. Allah speaks through the Quran - sometimes an ayah hits like He's whispering to your soul. Tafseer helps me tons.

MashaAllah your iman is strong even in sadness. Tahajjud changed my life. Those last third of night prayers… you'll feel His mercy wrap around you.

Sis, your tears in dua are precious to Allah. He's closer than your jugular vein. Maybe try journaling His names? Al-Wadud, the Loving. Hugs.
