When I was little I used to pray to God that I would lose a limb or two in some kind of accident. Not that I wanted to be handicapped but there are so many life changing stories about people who have lost limbs and glorified God through it. I dreaded the pain and the loss of the ability to do fun things like snowboarding, football, and volley ball, but I wanted to serve God with everything I had.
Now that I'm older I don't think that, that is God's plan for me any more. Now I thank God daily that He gave me a healthy body capable of doing work. God kept me whole so that He could use me. I pray I can remember that I do not own myself but that I am God's. I pray I can be a hard and willing worker for Him so that I can glorify Him.
