Has Istighfar genuinely changed anyone’s life?

Has Istighfar genuinely changed anyone’s life?

I’m 27 and going through a really tough phase. I’m unemployed, have limited education, very little money, family problems, poor health, and I’ve been lonely for most of my life. I don’t have a girlfriend, a good social circle, or anyone I feel genuinely loved by. I spend most of my time at home and honestly feel stuck.

I’d really like to hear from people who were once in a similar situation and regularly made Istighfar.

Did your rizq, finances, career, health, happiness, social life or relationships eventually improve? Did you find love or marriage? How long did it take before you noticed a change?

I’m looking for genuine personal experiences, not guarantees or lectures. Even one hopeful story would mean a lot to me.

JazakAllah Khair.
