My Apologetic

"Now -- here is my secret:

I tell it . . . with an openness of heart . . . I doubt I shall ever achieve again, so I pray that you are in a quiet room as you hear these words. My secret is that I need God -- that I am sick and can no longer make it alone. I need God to help me give, because I no longer seem to be capable of giving; to help me be kind, as I no longer seem capable of kindness; to help me live, as I seem beyond being able to live."

(from Life After God by Douglas Coupland)
