Struggling to hold onto faith in tough times

Assalamu alaikum, dear brothers and sisters. Since February, things have been going downhill in our region. At first, Alhamdulillah, my iman got stronger, but lately I feel like my faith is slipping away. So many people in my country and nearby are suffering, and we all keep making duaa for this conflict and pain to end, but it just gets worse. It makes me wonder if my duaa even matters, like maybe Allah isn’t hearing us. Every time I pray, it feels like things fall apart more, and now I’m scared to even ask Allah for help. I’m so worried about what’s next, and no matter how much I try to turn to Him, the fear doesn’t go away. Sometimes I catch myself thinking it would’ve been easier not to be born in a Muslim country with all this hardship. Does that make me a bad Muslim? I’m really struggling with my faith these days, and I feel so alone, like there’s no one I can talk to.
