"Constantly asking for forgiveness or reciting Istighfar is one of the best ways to increase barakah in your life. It removes sins and opens doors to sustenance and ease in your burdens and affairs."

Saying “La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah” means letting go of the idea that you can do things purely by your own power.

When this meaning really lives in your heart, it makes you stronger. You rely on Allah, difficulties feel lighter, and you face challenges with more confidence.
You will be tested with what your heart yearns for. Either there will be a delay in the response to your duas that you have been making for a long time, or it will be taken away from you. If it's meant for you, there will be a union in the end, and all your duas will be answered!
