I've always heard that we should always have hope and always have faith that everything that happens is for a reason and its for the best.. and I also heard that at times when you're depressed its because we stop praying and our soul also requires nourishment which is through our daily prayers.. in addition when you face problems, it brings you closer to God.. but at times a person is faced with so many problems that they drift away from everything and their faith seems to decrease.. they just lose hope from everything and everyone..and when nothing is working out for the best what is one to do? Especially when you keep praying and praying for things to get better.. but things only get worst... and even when you are given a light of hope.. its taken away before you even open your eyes.. and i just don't understand why is that.. why don't we even get a sign.. or are we just missing the signs..? I hope someone might have some feedback to give...

Sometimes things get to a point where even hoping doesn't work. However, there is one thing that got me into the positive direction. The Prophet (pbuh) during each night pondered on what good he had done, not just for himself but for others and Islam as a whole. If you think in this set mind, you will pay less attention to your worries and anxieties. There is a lot of websites that cover this topic of anxieties and what a muslim should do to free himself or herself from this. Try 63.175.194.25) this site gives very good advice something that will make sense thru Quran and Hadith.

hey salaams girl...Sometimes ALL the praying seems hopeless but we've got to continue and then they say we should never question God's decisions...I know its hard, but try to swallow it ;)

i think you should try not to concentrate on why things happen as hard as they may be...its human nature to try to reason everything and make sense of why things happen the way they do...but always remember this: Allah is the Master Planner...so if things dont work out the way you had wanted, Allah has something better in store for you...you might not understand it or even know what it is yet, but you have to have faith that He hears your every prayer and loves us more than our own mothers, so inshaAllah things will always work out..
as for ways to help bringing that feeling of faith back...we need to try to engage in things that will bring us closer to Him..and always struggle towards that...try spending like a few mins after each prayer to do some dhikr...repeating Allah's names or doing a dhikr of alhumdulilah, and really reflecting on every little thing we have to be thankful for...even little things as having a warm bed to sleep in at night...and inshaAllah you'll really see what a difference that makes...
also i really reccommend that you get that audio cd: 17 benefits of tribulation by hamza yusuf...its excellent!!
may Allah make things easy for you!
