Requesting your duas, please

Assalamu alaikum dear brothers and sisters, Honestly, it feels a bit odd writing this, not sure how to even put it, but I could honestly use your duas right now. Lately, life's been properly tough. My job, my marriage, practically everything-just feels like this heavy weight I can't shake. Haven't had work in almost a year now, and financially, it’s starting to get genuinely frightening. Just to be clear, I'm not asking anyone for money or anything like that, nothing of the sort. I’m only asking for your sincere duas, that’s all. For the last few years, I’ve been pushing myself to get closer to Allah, trying to actually be a better Muslim, but honestly, I still end up feeling so lost at times. I don’t always know if I’m doing things right, if I’m doing enough, or which way I should even be heading. And there’s this load of guilt I’m carrying from my past. Even though I’ve tried my best to leave those days behind, when things keep going wrong, I catch myself thinking-maybe my struggles now are tied to who I used to be. I know I shouldn’t doubt Allah’s mercy, but getting out of that negative headspace can be seriously hard. I'm just tired, and right now, I genuinely don’t know how to keep moving forward. If anyone comes across this, I’d really, really appreciate if you could make dua that Allah forgives me, shows me the right path, opens doors of halal rizq, grants me peace about the past, and gives me the strength to carry on. And if you’re going through something difficult too, may Allah ease your struggles as well. JazakAllahu khairan for even reading this.

JazakAllahu khairan for sharing your vulnerability. For the guilt, make this du'a constantly: 'HasbiyAllahu la ilaha illa huwa, 'alayhi tawakkaltu wa huwa Rabbul 'Arshil 'Azeem.' It saved me from my own overthinking. For rizq, never underestimate the power of istighfar. I started making it a habit and doors opened from places I never imagined. Allah's mercy is vaster than your past, never doubt that. May He grant you coolness of the eyes soon.

Sister, your guilt is a sign of iman, don't let shaytan use it to make you despair of Allah's mercy. He is Al-Ghafur, the Oft-Forgiving. I've been in that dark place of questioning my past too, but remember, when you sincerely repent, it's like you never committed those sins. And this test with rizq? It's hard, I know, but Allah only tests those He loves. Keep doing what you're doing, one day at a time. You're in my duas.

Listen, the fact that you're striving to get closer to Allah amidst all this tells me everything. Most people would crumble. Allah sees your effort, every single day of this year without work is written as sabr for you. Don't fall into the trap of thinking your past defines your present hardship. This life is a test for everyone, the righteous and the sinner. Your job right now is to keep knocking on His door. It will open. Really felt this post.
