Assalam O Alaikum!
When we love someone, we are willing to go out of our way to fulfill their requests. When we really love someone, we truly want to please them. Do you love Allah? Don't you love your Creator more than any of His creations?
Every Muslim professes love for the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W; May Peace and blessings be upon him), but do we love him more than any other human being; more than any of our possessions, like true believers? We blatantly ignore his teachings daily- could we do that if he were standing right in front of us? When we don't follow Ayahs of the Qur'an or Hadith (sayings of the Prophet S.A.W.) we must remind ourselves that Allah can see everything and has knowledge over all things.
If we truly love Allah more than any creation, then why can't we follow His commands? Why don't we yearn to get closer to Him and do everything we can to please Him? When we truly savor the sweetness of faith, we won't think what He asks of us is too much or too hard. Our Lord, our Sustainer and Cherisher, loves us and does not want hardship for us. He wants to show us mercy and reward us generously; if only we'd try- sincerely try.
Getting close to Allah is the key. For everything. For getting into heaven. For increasing our imaan and attaining a higher level of faith. For Allah making everything easier for us, if He wills. Pray; call on Allah, the best provider and loving Lord. Talk to Him, for He has power over all things. Think about it: the One running the entire universe, from every atom to every galaxy, wants to listen to us, individually listen to us, and yet we don't come rushing to Him, eager to be heard. May Allah guide us, show us the solutions to our problems the right way and help us get closer to Him. Ameen.
Prayers for you and your family :)
Jazak Allah!
Do you love Allah?

In His Glorious Book, Allah, the most Exalted, says: "When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them) : I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way." [2: 186]He is there to help us whenever we call on Him (and answers prayers in the best manner, better than we can even imagine.) Allah can open doors we can't even see and miraculously make ways for the best things to happen. If Allah wants good for you, no one can stop that good from reaching you. But similarly, we should take care not to displease our Lord, because if He leaves us, no one can be of even the slightest avail to us. And then, the problems of this life aren't even our biggest concern- in fact, it's all nothing compared to eternal reward or punishment.
Getting close to Allah is the key. For everything. For getting into heaven. For increasing our imaan and attaining a higher level of faith. For Allah making everything easier for us, if He wills.
