How can you pray when you are feeling down?
Prayer is a constant connection to God , the Creator of everything.
Acknowledge that God is the real Creator of whatever is happening to your feelings
Stop for a moment, take a deep breath and notice that there is a greater power (unseen) that is taking care of you and everything around you (the Earth, the Sun, the concrete of the building you are in right now). It is the power that is pumping oxygen through your lungs. It is the power that is keeping the Earth from shaking and maintaining its gravity. Every single moment and event in the situation you are in is coming from God and it is useless to resist or fight God. If the situation seems beyond your self-confidence, surrender and accept that there are things in life that are beyond your tiny self and ego. You can't control everything in life.
Know that you are not entitled - much worse could have happened
Our ego or entitlement mindset tells us that we deserve (and don't even know why) happiness and peace of mind and that is why nothing bad should happen to us, when in reality, the blessings (life, mind, air, money, people, family) we have been given are only the gifts of God, not the result of our hard-work talent or expertise.

When we acknowledge that we are not entitled to get things (like peace of mind in your situation right now), rather we are only the receiver of gifts -- our negative thinking is stopped by God all of a sudden and pure energy of God's love starts flowing through us, forcing us to be more and more thankful for His mercy.
Seek forgivenss
Making mistakes is common and there are times our situations are the outcome of our past errors or negligence. We must seek forgiveness all the time. Asking for forgiveness makes us responsible for our acts and it relieves us.
