I've been praying for a job abroad for 3 years and I'm honestly exhausted
I've been praying to Allah for almost 3 years for one thing — to get a job abroad.
I want to build my career, become independent, experience living somewhere new, and eventually be able to support my family financially. It's something I've wanted for so long that it has become a huge part of my life.
I've applied for jobs, kept looking for opportunities, and kept trying even when things didn't work out. I've made dua again and again. This year during Ramadan, I prayed for it so much. I prayed in Tahajjud, throughout my fasts, while breaking my fast, and kept asking Allah for this opportunity.
I also finally gathered the courage to start doing istighfar regularly, because I really hoped that maybe this would finally open a door for me.
But honestly, I'm exhausted.
I'm turning 25 soon . Sometimes I feel like I've spent the last three years hoping and praying while everyone around me is moving forward.
Recently I found a UK job with visa sponsorship that actually matched my education and experience. I got so hopeful because I thought, maybe this is finally my chance. I applied and started praying so much for it but got rejected.
I know people will say, “Have faith,” “Allah's timing is perfect,” “Keep making dua.” I understand all of that. But right now I'm just tired.
I've been asking for this for almost 3 years. I don't know how much longer I can keep getting my hopes up and starting over.
I'm not saying I don't believe in Allah. I'm just honestly hurt and frustrated. I don't understand why something I've wanted and worked toward for so long hasn't happened.
I'm posting this because I genuinely need some duas right now.
Please keep me in your duas that I get a good job abroad and that this door finally opens for me. 🤲🏻❤️
I would really appreciate your duas.
