"You're all I have left"

What does it mean to say "Ein lanu al mi lihei'sha'ein ela avinu shebashamayim"? Does that mean we're desperate, in horrible straights, and sadly have nowhere to turn except to G-d? Or does it mean that we have G-d in His full strength behind us, and we now understand that completely?
When at a tight juncture, my reaction is to look up and say "Hashem, You're all I have left. I better remember to depend on You."
This morning I caught myself and wondered - is Hashem all I have left, or everything I have?
