Feeling a little broken lately. I don’t feel like praying and when I do I can’t really focus. I wake up, go through the motions and wait for the weekend. I don’t know what to do to to heal myself. I recognize that I have a lot to be grateful for but I can’t help but want more from life too

Ibn Al-Qayyim said:

‎“How strange does it seem, that these tests which weigh a ton on our chest today will one day elevate us. Elevate us so high, that we will thank Allah. We will thank Him for testing us, for loving us and for giving us more than anyone could imagine”

Are you feeling overwhelmed by something in another area of your life? Maybe work? The thing is this can have a ripple effect and cause you to lose motivation. The problem is, however, when you feel low, the worst possible thing you can do is turn away from your Lord. It leads to nothing but a worse mental state and depression. Can you come for umrah? Or just take a trip to your masjid when it is quiet and talk to Him. Or even while you have a peaceful moment in your room. The most beautiful thing about this conversation is that He will know what you are going to say before you say it and He'll still listen

So beautiful is the love that Allah has for us that He will appreciate that you have come to Him. Conversely, there will be times that you won't know how to explain how you feel. The most amazing thing is that He understands what we are feeling inside better than we do.

I’m feeling overwhelmed at work and personally. I am planning to do for umrah. I just don’t think that is going to do much for my faith. Maybe I will take a trip to the mosque.

Feel ya bud, life just gets boring and overwhelming. Same old bs everyday wake up > work 11-14 hours > gym (maybe) > sleep & repeat. Best thing to do is taking PTOs and hanging out w ur friends those days

Lots of good suggestions here. I was (maybe partly still am) in a similar situation. I hired a coach to help me think about deeper questions, and I took some time off to really unplug. Also prayer really is game changer but just find what works for you - talk to Allah He will listen
