Allah has the power to grant you anything you ask for. And only He has that power.

“Indeed your Lord is Generous and Shy. If His servant raises his hands to Him in du'a, He feels shy to return them empty.”
(Reported in Musnad Ahmad, Sunan Abu Dawud, and Jami' at-Tirmidhi)
Never hesitate to make du‘a. No matter how big your hopes are or how heavy your worries feel, turn to Allah with sincerity. He hears every prayer and knows every need.
