Seeking Financial Relief and Rizq During Tough Times

Salam alaikum everyone, I'm in a bit of a tight spot financially and could really use some rizq right now. I have my own business-something I'm passionate about, but the income is unpredictable. I'm considering picking up a small side gig just to stay afloat while things pick up. I wear hijab and I'm not compromising on that. Living in France, the islamophobia makes job searching extra challenging, so I'm trying to find something that lets me hold onto my principles. I've heard that making istighfar can open doors to rizq. Has anyone here actually experienced that? I know istighfar is important regardless, but I'm wondering if it specifically helped with finances. Also, any specific duas, habits, or acts of worship that helped you when you were in a similar situation? Jazakum Allahu khairan.
