A prayer when my strength has run out

Master of the World, I feel my strength has run out. I tried, and I fell. I tried again, and I fell again. Each time I believed that this time it would work, and each time I came back to the same point. And now there is a voice in me saying: enough, stop trying, this is not for you.

I ask You not to let that voice win. I do not know how things will work out, and right now I see no opening at all. But I am still here, and still speaking to You, and perhaps that is already a point of life that remains in me.

Let me not calculate the whole road. I do not need to know now how I will reach the end. I need only the next step, this day, this minute. Help me do one small thing, and after it one more.

Let me remember days when I thought there was no way out, and still I got through them. If I got through then, perhaps I will get through now too.

And if I have no strength even to want, let me at least want to want. This small wish too I lay before You and ask You to keep safe.

And send me people who will hold on to me when I cannot hold on to myself, and let me accept their help without shame.

And let me remember that even from the lowest place there is a way back to You. As long as there is breath in me, it is possible to begin again. Let me hold on to this even on a day when it is hard for me to believe it.
