When Relief Takes Its Time (The Test of Patience)

Salaam alaikum, have you ever been stuck waiting for something for years? You can feel Allah easing things open bit by bit, but your heart is screaming for it now-not out of impatience, just because the wait has dragged on so long, like a decade or more. Alhamdulillah for everything, but honestly, I’ve hit a wall. Burned out, no drive left from pushing so hard, yet still clinging to Allah alone. I don’t like leaning on people or asking anyone for help because I turn to Him. My soul feels like a lost child weeping for Allah, but I’m so drained it’s starting to show physically-brain fog, tired eyes, sleepless nights, zero energy. How do you get through the trial of sabr?

Ya ukhti, your soul is not lost-it's just exhausted from the fight. I pray Allah sends you a breeze of relief that cools your heart. Please don't isolate, sometimes a hug from a sister is rahmah too.

Wa alaikum salaam. I feel you, sis. Ten years waiting for a baby, and my soul is just so tired. I keep saying 'Hasbunallah wa ni'mal wakeel' but today even that feels heavy. May Allah send us both ease soon.
