And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." .. [Quran 40:60]

Ibn al-Qayyim  said: Duas and ta'awudhat [prayers seeking refuge with Allah] are like a weapon, and a weapon is only as good as the person who is using it; it is not merely the matter of how sharp it is.
 
* If the weapon is perfect & free of faults, &
* the arm of the person using it is strong, &
* there is nothing stopping him
 
Then he can lay waste the enemy. But if any of these three features is lacking, then the effect will be lacking accordingly." (al-Daa' wa'l-Dawaa', p 35)
 
If the weapon is perfect and free of faults, [if dua is made with all its etiquettes ] the arm of the person using it is strong, [If Iman of the person is strong]  there is nothing stopping dua [ things like consuming haram wealth or breaking the ties of kinship]
