Why Me Lord?

Why me Lord?  I have paid my bills perfectly on time for years and now the bank has taken away my available credit? 
Why me Lord?  I have done the very best job I could do for twelve years and now I have to find a new place to work? 
Why me Lord?  I have to move out of my beautiful home into a rental in order to pay debt on a closed business? 
Why me Lord?  Do I have to contend with this oxygen machine 24X7? 

The question, "Why me Lord?" may be saying to God out of our pride, "I don't deserve this!"

The question, "Why me Lord?" may be saying to God out of humility, "I don't understand fully Your love for me, but I know You will somehow bless me in this." 

                                                                   Romans 8:32
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him, also freely give us all things?

                                                                  
Why me Lord?  Losing the available credit increased my faith to trust in You and not the evil ways of credit.
Why me Lord?  Moving me from one job to another opened up new opportunities for many blessings I would have missed out on otherwise.
Why me Lord?  Selling our home gave to us freedom not to be in bondage and debt to creditors and freedom from the bondage of owning a home.
Why me Lord?  This oxygen tube that I must be attached to every minute of my day is such a wonderful reminder that I need to abide in you 24 X 7. 

                                                                       1 Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

                                                                        Morning Prayer
Dear Lord,
    Why me?  Why did You sacrifice Your life for me?  Why me?  Why did You pay the price for my sin?  Why me?  Why did You choose to love me?  Why me Lord?  Amen
