Struggling to feel Allah's presence

Assalamu alaikum, brothers and sisters. I've been trying to pray all day, but I just can't seem to connect with Allah. It's really scary when this happens-especially when I'm super stressed out. And right now, I'm really distressed. Has anyone else felt like, when you're at your lowest, you just can't find Allah? Anyone got advice on how to feel His presence again?

You're not alone. Sometimes stress numbs everything. Try listening to Surah Ad-Duha with translation-it reminds me that Allah never abandoned the Prophet ﷺ, so He won't abandon us. Sending hugs.

Ya Allah, this hits hard. When I'm super stressed, I force myself to do istighfar like breathing. Even if my heart feels dead, the tongue moves. Eventually, the calm comes. Don't give up.
