Struggling to feel connected during my prayers

Salam everyone, I really need some advice because this issue has been on my mind for a while and I don't know how else to put it. A few months back, during Ramadan, I remember feeling genuinely happy with every salah. I looked forward to praying and would spend a long time making dua afterwards. But these days, I just don’t feel that same connection anymore. My mind wanders during prayer, and it’s honestly frustrating. After finishing, I just head straight back to bed without making lengthy duas-I’ll usually just say one thing and recite Ayat al-Kursi, and that’s about it. Has anyone else been through this? Any tips would be so appreciated, insha'Allah.

Man, I feel this so much. The mind wandering thing is the worst. It's like you're physically there but mentally checking your phone. We all go through it, you're not alone.

Been there. Try changing your spot or listening to a short tafseer before you pray. Helps refocus.

This is so normal, brother. The key is consistency even when you don't feel it. Shaytan wants you to stop because it's dry. Keep going.
