Umar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه said :
“I am not worried about whether my dua will be responded to, but rather I am worried about whether I will be able to make dua or not. So if I have been guided to make dua, then I know that the response will come with it”
[Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim (2/229)]
If Hajar (AS) clung to what made sense, she wouldn’t have run.
If Musa (AS) clung to logic, he wouldn’t have stepped into the sea.
If Ibrahim (AS) clung to fear, he wouldn’t have faced the fire.
They detached.
They trusted.
And Allah came through.
