Prayer Request

My mom has been diagnosed with Stage 2A breast cancer. She just had her mastectomy yesterday and came through it like a champ. They removed all of her lymph nodes and now we have to wait (more waiting) until Thursday to see how many of them are affected, which could change he stage to a 3, 3A or 3B. Needless to say I am terrified. My mom is doing wonderfully and has such a peace about her, and says she knows that she is going to be okay. I on the other hand do not have that peace. All I have is fear and panic. I have been praying, but it seems everything that I have prayed NOT to happen has happened. I know God hears me, but things don't seem to be getting any better. We haven't been getting the best news in in the world. Please pray for my mom. She has to undergo six months of chemo. Please pray that the lymph nodes are not affected, or if they are,that no more than 3 are. Please pray that I obtain the strength I need to support my mom through this, because right now I feel like such a disappointment to her and to God. To her because I have broken down in front of her and showed how scared I am. To God for getting angry at him for all of this. I have apologized to both, but I don't feel any less guilty. I feel alone, exhausted, guilty and scared. Please pray for my family. My mom is my best friend in the world and the thought of losing her is suffocating. My dad is dead, both of my grandparents are dead. I have her, my sister and my stepdad.I am terrified.

Prayer Request

I know this sounds silly, but I just ended my relationship of a year and a half with my boyfriend. We were talking about marriage seriously. He did not have his life together and we were going to wait until God decided it was the right time. After getting into an argument because he got mad and resentful because I get sick so easily(I have been diagnosed with a sinus disorder that they were JUST able to control after years of medications that did not work) we broke up. He told me I affected people by leaving them in a "lurch" when I am sick, and I am sick because I drink Coke and eat processed foods. I had just told him a few days before how down I was on myself feeling like I burden people and like I cannot do anything right. Anyway, it has been two weeks, and though I am sure I made the right decision in ending the relationship (he had no job, lived with his parents, and not going to school and he is 29) I am hurting so badly. I love this man and wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. I feel empty and am not quite sure what to do next. I am not praying that we get back together, because I do not think that is the man God wanted for me. I am praying for strength to get through this hard time. Not only the breakup, but 2 months before this my grandpa died. This month, my car is messed up with $400 in repairs, my rent went up to almost $1000, I am broke, work is stressful, and I found out my insurance wont cover the ONE drug that works for my sinus problems after YEARS of trying different medications.....things are not going my way and I am not dealing well. Please say little prayer, of you would, because I am feeling like I need more strength than I am able to find to deal with all of this. Thanks in advance. God bless y'all!
