Is it okay to stop praying for something I wanted by a certain age?

Salam. So, there's this thing I always wanted to happen by a certain age, you know? But it didn't. Now I feel like what’s the point, because those earlier years are gone. I'm just not excited about it anymore. Is it allowed to just stop making dua for it? Would that be sinful or wrong?

Man, I get it. I stopped praying for a specific marriage prospect. Felt weird at first, but then I realized-dua is for what's beneficial, not just what we think we want. Trust your gut, but don't lose faith.

It's not sinful to stop, but maybe reflect on why you're losing hope. Allah's timing is perfect, even when we set our own deadlines. Keep making dua, but with yaqeen that His plan is better.
