presence

ALlahumdullilah, i'm a hijabi and love islam and try to follow it properly. I used to pray 5 times a day and read quran almost everyday and was totaly engrossed in becoming a good muslim. Recently, I started talking differently and got influenced by people. But still i never used to swear or anything. Then this year in grade ten, i totally changed. I started to say some bad words and tried to impress ppl. During Ramadan, i still prayed 5 times a day, kept all my fasts and read one rukuh of quran a day. Then i couldnt fast due to some natural reason, and when i started fasting, i didn;t feel the same anymore. I used to miss my prayers, didnt read quran and kind of stopped caring. After ramadan though..so since last week i started listening to lectures, praying and reading quran but now something seems missing. BEfore it felt as if though there was a brigde between ALlah and ME and i was preparing to cross the bridge. Now it feels as if though ive finally got the guts to cross the brigde but now i realize allah isnt there anymore. I pray, read quran and have started to understand islam but now i dont feel the prescence of allah. NOt at all!...i feel as if though im trying ot pray, i concentrate on what im saying to allah but i just dont seem to feel allah;s prescence andi dont kno wat's happening?

Asalamualaikum wa Rahmatulaah wa barakat I had a question about prayer I go to night school everyday and it runs through asr and maghrib prayer. As far as I know there is no room set asaide for Muslims to pray in because this is Canada. Sometimes I pray in the hall but I find that I am easily distracted. Is it bad that I feel somewhat embarassed praying infront of people who are not muslims? What should I do concerning prayer during this time? How can I be stronger in my will to pray in any location? Jazakum Allah Khair
