Dear friends
My family and I have a deep need for prayer right now, my mom especially. This spiral began on Sept 28 when my W informed me of her EA/PA. Our chances of reconcilliation don't look good and I'm too worn out to try anymore. My WW has not had any interest in working on our M up to this point.

Within two weeks of finding out about the A, my mom's mom broke her hip and was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and now has 1-2 weeks to live. I have been to see grandma several times and am at peace with her passing, in spite of the pain of impending loss; Dorothy has been a faithful servant of the Lord for all of her 81 yr.

This past weekend, I learned that my dad's mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and may require a radical mastectomy. This one hasn't sunk in yet, since the rest of the world is already on fire.

I cry a lot and when I do it is deep racking sobs which nearly cut off my air. Please pray for our family for health, safety, and strength during these times. Also, ask God not to let up on changing me into the man he wants me to be...I know he started a good work and will be faithful to complete it...I'm starting to feel like Job down here, though.

Thank you all

RTR,

I am praying for you and your family.

God is with you and He will be through all of this. He will bring you through this. He hears your cries. I am praying for you to find peace in this storm. God makes all things work together for good for those that call on His name.

Dear Father in Heaven. Provide comfort and peace to your faithful servant, RTR. Lift him up as he goes through these trials. Though he might not fully understand why these things are occuring, help him accept it as Your Will. Ease the pain and suffering of his grandparents as You prepare them to share Your Manificent Glory in Heaven.
We ask this in Jesus's Holy Name. Amen.

RTR,
I am adding you to the Weekly Prayer for Restoration of Marriages and Lives.

God's Grace and Mercy,
TTSMM

Thank you for your prayers. Can you tell me more about the Wednesday prayer for M and spouses?

I don't really have much feeling left and am nervous about Grandma #2's breast cancer diagnosis today.

TTSMM - I read a lot of your story. What is your situation like now?

Thank you all.

Oh I am so sorry about the pain and heartache you are going through. My heart goes out to you.

I will be praying for you, your wife, and the others in your family you mentioned. What a heavy burden; I pray the Lord lifts it off your shoulders and fills you with His great peace.

I can sure understand why you are feeling like Job. Remember though things turned out ok for Job, and God will reward you for your faithfulness to Him also.

God bless,

AW
