Question

i over the past year i have been interested in a guy and we both intended on marriage right away. However his parents said no without even meeting me. obviously when i found out i was devastated. This happened only recently so i'm still very hurt. Also, i've been feeling lately like i'm very vulnerable to the evil eye. People are always pointing out how beautiiful iam or my accomplishments i've been feeling very uncomfortable and restless. My heart feels very heavy in a sense that i'm holding so much within me. I feel lost and confused about my future. Can you please direct me towards any dua that will help me deal with such a tough time in my life.

 

my second question is when praying istikhara, do i have to follow what i am inclined to? What if i don't, is that considered wrong?
