When Doors Close: Understanding the Wisdom Behind It

I'm feeling so confused and tired, honestly. The idea that when something isn't meant for you, Allah closes the door, but why was it even open in the first place? I made constant dua about this person-before I got to know them, while we were talking, and even when things got serious. Then suddenly, it all fell apart. If this was protection, why didn't Allah protect me before I fell so deep? If it was a test, what’s the point of making dua? Sorry if I sound harsh, I'm just exhausted.

Oh man, this hit home. Sometimes the protection is from a future pain you can't see. Your dua wasn't wasted-it kept you company through it all. He listened, and He's still listening.

Ugh, same. Dua isn't a vending machine though. It's a conversation with Allah. Maybe He closed it to give you better, or to bring you closer to Him through the pain. Hard to see now, I know.
