The answer

We ask Allah to keep you steadfast in repentance. If you repent to Allah, it is hoped that He will accept your repentance, for He says: "And it is He who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons sins." What you complain of may be due to your shortcomings, for He says: "And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is because of what your hands have earned," and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, a servant is deprived of provision due to a sin he commits." You must take the necessary means and strive to achieve your goals.
