The answer

You have done well by initiating repentance and remorse, and you must be careful not to return to such actions. Among the conditions of repentance is restoring rights to their owners, and these rights do not lapse with the passage of time except if their owner relinquishes them. Difficulty in finding work may be a trial or a punishment, and you must strive to exert effort and seek help from Allah Almighty. Among the greatest means of sustenance are frequent supplication and seeking forgiveness.
