"It's worthy of a young man seeking work and marriage to repeat this great supplication:
'رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍۢ فَقِيرٌۭ'
'My Lord! I am truly in ˹desperate˺ need of whatever provision You may have in store for me.'

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“A servant takes what is forbidden for only two reasons:
The first is having bad expectations of his Lord, thinking that if he obeys and prefers Him, He will not grant him something better and lawful than it.
The second is knowing that whoever leaves something for Allah's sake, He will replace it with something better, but his desires overcome his patience and passions overtake his intellect.
So the first stems from a deficiency in his knowledge, And the second from a deficiency in his reason and insight.
Yahya ibn Mu'adh said: “When Allah gathers a person's heart in supplication, He does not reject him.”
Ibn al-Qayyim says:
When his heart is focused, his need is sincere, his poverty is evident, and his hope is strong - his supplication is hardly rejected.”

Taqwa & Good Character
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:
“The Prophet ﷺ established a relationship between the fear of Allāh and good character, because fearing Allāh improves the relation between the servant and Allāh, and good character improves the relation between a person and others. Therefore, fearing Allāh makes it possible for Allāh to love him, and good manners makes it possible for people to love that person.”

[al-Fawā’id]
Imaam an-Nawawee said: “So the first thing which he should begin with is the memorisation of the mighty Qur’an,which is the most important of the branches of knowledge. And the Salaf did not used to teach hadeeth or fiqh, except to one who had memorised the Qur’an. So when he has memorised it, then let him beware of pre-occupying himself from it with hadeeth, or fiqh, or other things, to the extent that it leads him to forget anything from the Qur’an, or makes that likely.”
