What does one do when the passion for making dua keeps waning?
Like, we are tld like that we are supposed to keep invoking Allah like with the same passion. But what happens when that passion begins to drop?

All I know is my desires have always been deep in my heart.... (can't say that they've always been legit unfortunately) but nonetheless Allah swt knows what is in my heart..
Have to believe even when passion and conviction is low... He knows.....
May Allah swt guide us all even when in doubt....
Remain a strong believer and maintain your faith...
Reminds me of Night of power.... Laylatul qadr... That is a special night... You have to put all efforts in and pray like you never have done so before. That night separates all the other nights in the year... You can't afford to be low in faith or passion on that night, you just can't!
Hah. Yes that's why we
- make that night so special so we regret less of not doing enough....
- pray we get to partake yet in another Ramadan again. You say one year....? Its September after weekend... Then roughly 8 months to go for Ramadan... Watch its imminent arrival...
I think generally we have to believe every dua / supplication counts, on that basis we supplicate throughout the day in general and after prayers...on a daily basis..
Believe it or not despite lacking in faith sometimes I also sometimes believe the possibility of miracles being imminent.. I mean I've seen and experienced miracles before so why not?... This is something I've found myself not willing to let go of. Maybe this thought along with my duas is all I have.... Maybe...
Have to exercise patience and try to stay positive... I keep telling myself...
but akhi, I get confused. I am losing passion for dua. And when i make dua, I get the feeling to like "move on"from the whole situation I am invoking Allah for.! So the passion, and faith both are compromised.

Thankyou all for your kind words, I want to say something, but I am restricted by a few things.
I didn't mean to hurt any one's sentiments whilst saying God is unfair towards women. I just feel like that. Emotionally and physically women are weak. They have a biological clock which makes them less attractive or suitable for marriage as they grow old. A man can marry a 20 year old in his 40s. But I have n't seen the case the other way around. Pakistan is the worst country to be a woman.
I have been in pain for the past 6 months. The pain is only going to increase from now on. Knowing that jannat is not guaranteed to all Muslims, especially not to the ones who commit suicide. Bbut I have had enough. If you guys could take a moment recite durood sharif (durood e ibrahimi) and make dua for Allah to grant me what I want, I will appreciate it.
Másalam

Ya akhi... I understand how you feel. May Allah swt guide us.
Not sure how old you are but at my age I felt the effect...
The cultivation of negativity within your mental state.... Cant be healthy can it? . I was cultivating it.... Then I realise now the side effect on my physiological health... And I still feel it. Let hope and faith counteract that.
So be mindful of it.
Stay hopeful, Insh Allah the door will open, if not then another door will open in its stead..... Soon....
just registered to answer this thread and the psudo molvis who are always saying suffer here for the great after life, you are here because of your love for dunia, yada yada...
brother let me tell you this stay away from such folks as they will only add on to your misery. they wont understand it because Allah hasn't blessed them with hardship like you with your level of tolerance.
passion is like a sine curve will fluctuate, as long as you know you are trying that should be good enough....
growing up in islamic countries I also felt that Allah is out there to get you on every fault of yours all good things are haram and all the good life and luxuries are for arabs...
that sure killed my passion
my passion came back when I started to think why does every surah start with Bismillahi Rahman er Rahim..... yet almost every other molvi competes with each other on who can be the most harsh.... then i found out the so called scholars will be among the first to go to jahanam....
I used to think Allah is unfair too.... i come from the indian subcontinent where muslims are very poor and used to think Allah only loves the arabs so he gave them all the prophets we never got any and all the riches, then I came to realize our people (people from bangla india and pak) are even worse than the arabs, if look at whats happening in the subcontinent you will get your answer...
I came to realize whenever you have questions you should have a balanced approach of deen and dunia, only jahils will tell you to focus on deen only. When you start appreciating the dunia you have more opportunities for saying a heart felt shukur Alamdhulilah.
