What I picked up from this discussion are as listed
Masnoon Duas are best but then also talk to Allah and verbally express your feelings in your own way and place your doubts, worries, and needs Infront of your creator. He is listening, don't deprive yourself from the worship of talking to Allah.
Allah has unlimited ways of fulfilling your Duas if you get an opening or a calling from the devine don't question it or waste that opportunity by making never ending ifs and buts. Staying focused on your goals is a good vertue, but if you have reached a deadend you need to take what Allah gives to you, maybe it will lead you out of your troubles onto a platform to begin with new strength and a new foundation. Or better still open new doors from there on. Everything comes with it's blessings.
