Dear Jesus, Do you want me to go to this meeting? Sometimes I feel like it might be information overload. I’m studying so much about this neuroma, and sometimes it all feels like too much. I put this meeting in your hands. Amen.

          And we can be confident that he will listen to us whenever we   ask him for anything in line with his will. 1John 5:14
