Unworthy

I don't know how much to say or how to explain it, but I can tell you that I was very ill, I was hospitalized, and I experienced a miraculous healing through Christ. It's what we prayed for and has transformed many people in my life. I remember being in so much pain as our priest came to visit me one day in the hospital and I said, "I've been thinking about all the suffering in the world, and why should my life be any different? I don't think I'm worthy of God's healing." He responded, "son, we are all equally unworthy of God." I don't know why our prayer was answered and others are not, but I've learned the answer has nothing to do with being more a less deserving of it. I now often find myself confused because I don't know what is expected of me. The best I've come to accomplish is appreciation for my new life. This experience in all its glory has also been difficult to understand. I hope this forum can become useful in this way as well. So, I suppose this is a miracle post and a prayer request too:
May I learn to live a life that glorifies God. Amen.
