If that's the scene I think it is (broken George "praying" to god), it is perhaps one of Stewart's most powerful and moving performances. I'm sure we have all felt this way a time or two. Several years ago, when the economy crashed, I was laid off (wife didn't work), my marriage fell apart, and I wen't deep into debt to keep the household running, so as not to impact my kids' lifestyles. All behind me now; back to normal, sans wife...

And an interesting tidbit about that scene:

Despite a reputation for being fastidiously well prepared, the veteran director had no idea that his star would turn on the waterworks and deliver such an impassioned, intimate performance on the first take. It was something overwhelming even for Stewart himself.
So the cameras rolled, the music and bustle in the bar erupted, and the scene played out -- but when it was over, Capra realized his angle was too distant. And he had failed to capture a close-up of the emotionally draining scene. Capra apologized and asked his Oscar-winning star to replicate it, but a spent Stewart knew he'd nailed it and couldn't fathom a re-creation as effective as the one he'd just poured out.
