Your du'as seem empty. If you don't know who you're praying to, it's highly unlikely for emotions and real wanting to come through. And you need that.
Your lack of belief in Allah could be due to a lack of knowledge in him. Read the Qur'an... But not just the words. Understand them, their meaning and what they imply.
Also I have an other question, I'm just wondering why when I wanted to be closer to Allah, has He rejected me??
I am as my servant thinks of Me, and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he mentions Me in Himself I mention him in Myself. If he mentions Me in a gathering, I mention him in a better gathering. If he comes near Me one hand-span (shibran) I come near him one cubit (dhira’an). If he comes near Me one cubit I come near him an arm’s length (ba’an). If he comes to Me walking, I come to him running.
My third question is that I have friends not practicing at all but they have a so strong faith?? So why I'm I the one who is loosing it all when i'm the one who is practicing??
How do you know they have a strong faith? Just because they don't question it? You become a firm believer in Islam when you know what it's about. And you know what it's about when you question what it says regarding matters.
And if someone has strong faith, strong actions will follow. Which doesn't seem to be the case with your friends. Though, I'm not necessarily judging them here.
And the last thing I want to know is when it's written: Inna Allah yahdi man yasha2 wich means that Allah brings to faith only the ones he wishes to bring?? Does that mean that even if we do efforts, If Allah doesn't want us, we won't be folowing the right path??
Allah will guide whoever wants to be guided. It's like, Allah will give you the fruits of what you've harvested. If you don't plough the land, you won't get a good yeild of your stuff (no, I'm don't have an in-depth knowledge of farming). That doesn't mean that Allah didn't give you good yeild. It means that you didn't wok hard enough to get that yeild.
I hope I made sense =].
