Struggling with consistency in salah - feeling distant and guilty
Assalamu alaikum, I’ve been having a hard time keeping my prayers consistent. Every few days I fall out of the habit and sometimes miss a couple of prayers each day. It’s taking a toll on my life and I feel so distant from Allah, really guilty when I miss them and then when I try to get back into it. I’m tired of fighting this for years. I just want to be able to pray the five daily prayers regularly. How can I expect Allah’s help in other parts of my life when I can’t even turn to Him and follow His commands? I genuinely want to improve. InshaAllah this will be the year I make a proper commitment to my salah and that it becomes easier. I feel like my days slip away without my prayers. Any practical tips or advice would mean a lot. JazakAllah khair.
