know sometimes you think it’s unfair and you wonder why God isn’t blessing you with the dua’ you’ve been making when you’ve tried so hard and done things right for so long. An unanswered prayer is a part of every human’s life. You want to get married and despite all your efforts and your commitment to doing things right, you’re still so alone. You’re trying to have a baby, and despite months or years of trying, you have friends who didn’t even want to get pregnant but are conceiving children. You want to get that particular job or get into that particular school and yet…the doors are closed for you, again. And you wonder: what am I doing wrong? Is God mad at me? And you’ve often caught yourself wondering…what’s the point in me still making this dua’ which is not being answered, anyway? 
Sometimes you think it’s unfair that God isn’t blessing you when you’ve tried so hard and done things right for so long. I myself wanted something so badly and I kept praying for it, pouring my heart into begging God to give it to me. But after making dua’ for a while, eventually I would make that dua’ while saying to myself, “God probably wants to test me. He knows how much I want this, so He probably will give me the opposite of it just because I want it so badly.” 
Continuing to ask Allah  for that thing over and over again may seem impossible or pointless, but it is not. With training yourself to hold a positive opinion of Allah  and to recognize His wisdom even when you cannot understand it in the moment, inshaAllah, you will feel the patience to persist by shifting your understanding of a prayer which seems unanswered. Holding these two views in your heart will help you persist in praying for your unanswered prayer, for what you want and never giving up hope in the power of your dua’ and the promise that Allah  will answer it.
