Original Prayer

Lord as you know I lost my job, my career, my confidence and self-respect. I was foolish and allowed the bullying from senior staff to get at me, which affected my work with the patients at the nursing home. My patience gradually grew thin and when I was assaulted I retaliated and restrained the patient. For that I was sacked. Forgive me because I’m finding it hard to forgive myself. For one seconds loss of control I lost my career. I feel my depression rapidly approaching; again I can feel its grip on me growing each day. I feel lost dejected and want to hide in my room spending hours in a fantasy world inside my mind to escape not just from the world but myself too. Please help me regain my confidence my patience and love for which I was once respected and renowned for and help me beat this growing depression. I know what I have to do, but my faith is weak and body lethargic. Please Lord, do not let me enter another depression; it took me years to defeat the last one. Help me fight back to become a better person for the experience.
