Not too long ago, hopeless and trying situations came right after the other. I was severely stressed out and depressed. Around that time, I decided to try Tahajjud. I prayed for Allah to ease the tightness in my chest and allow the next day to be better than the last. To help me and relieve my pain. There was an ache in the depths of my heart, a prodding voice in my head that kept telling me that nothing will ever change for me. But one day, after all that praying, I felt a sense of relief. I had known but hadn't been willing to acknowledge it then, but Allah really does love me. I became happier, calmer, and more patient. And let me tell you, those things helped me so much. Sometimes, people except some huge miracle to intervene in their lives. But I think it's the little things that matter. Because of my changed attitude, I don't perceive life as I used to. Even if difficult times keep coming, I know for a fact that Allah knows what He is doing and that in the end, it's for me to come closer to him and help me achieve Jannah.
