How I’m Praying

At long last, I have a doctor appointment tomorrow to go over results from an MRI scan of my wrist and thumb joint on my right hand. It has been five weeks since I got out of my cast, and it is still wrecked. One of my friends asked me today what I would like her to pray for… That they find nothing wrong or that they find something wrong that can be repaired. I’m actually not sure which I would rather, and I have learned over the years that it’s best not to try to boss God around or control His hand in a direction that I think is best.  I suppose what I would really request for prayer is for 
1. clear answers about the condition of my wrist
2. clarity about what is wise to do about it, and
3. for God’s peace so that my soul will rest in His presence whatever circumstances I find myself in.
Isaiah 26:3 (NLTSE)
“You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you!”
