How can I maintain motivation and remain positive about Allah's planning and timing while continuing to make the same Dua for the past four years?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

By believing that Allah Has The Absolute Knowledge, and The Absolute Wisdom, and The Absolute Mercy, and He is The Absolute Able and The  Absolute Generous. We seek from Him what we wish and think good for us, but He Knows everything about us and everything including what we wish, and He Knows all the past, the present and the future. He knows whether our wish which we think good according to our limited knowledge, is really good for us now and in the future or not. He does not follow our thinking but He Has His Absolute Knowledge. His Absolute Mercy on us makes Him avoid us what can be harmful for us in the future. That is why, we need to submit to the Will of Allah which is based on His Absolute Knowledge, Wisdom and Mercy. We keep on seeking from Allah our wishes even for decades, being sure that He Will Grant us The Best according to His Knowledge not our imagination.

‘We keep praying and seeking from Allah, submitting to His Will and thanking Him always for His countless bounties on us.

‘Wassalam.

Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

Yes, it is permissible to do so. Of course, it is recommended to recite supplications that have been transferred to us from Ahlul Bayt (a.s.), but at times if you want to just pray to Almighty God, and converse with Him, etc, then you can do so in any language. 

And Allah knows best.
