Isnt it amazing how we’re supposed to read the last two verses of surah Baqarah every night. i mean no matter what you’re going through, Allah keeps reminding us:
لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
“Allah does not burden a person with something more than he can bear” Subhan'Allah this is so comforting. 🤍

Know that this worldly life is no more than play, amusement, luxury, mutual boasting, and competition in wealth and children. This is like rain that causes plants to grow, to the delight of the planters. But later the plants dry up and you see them wither, then they are reduced to chaff. And in the Hereafter there will be either severe punishment or forgiveness and pleasure of Allah, whereas the life of this world is no more than the delusion of enjoyment.
- {Surah Al-Hadid, Ayah 20}
