There's a reason Why I don't pray that.......

So someone asked me why don't I just pray and ask God for an arm where there is none awhile ago. They continued to tell me that He can do that because He is God all I got to do is have faith as small as a mustard seed and it will happen. This person was a stranger. I never met him before. I really don't remember what my response was to him at the time. I'm not sure if I even gave him a response or just smiled and nodded.

Heres the thing I do know that NOTHING is impossible for God to do. So yes I know that He will do it if it was in His Will and if I had faith while praying for Him to do so. But heres where I am about that topic. You see God made me!! It was not a mistake that He made me this way. I can understand if I was born with two arms and something happened that caused me to loss an arm. Then yes I would probably pray that God will help me out in that area and make a miracle happen. He made me in His own Image:

Genesis 1:27

New International Version (NIV)
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.

And He knew what He was doing:

Psalm 139:13-16

New International Version (NIV)
13 For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
With that said I feel like I should be content with who I am and not try to be like everybody else. For I am an original and I am Unique just like He made me to be. So for me to ask that of Him its like (no offense) spitting in His face and say He didn't do it right. Or its like saying He didn't do a good job with creating me. Sometimes I feel like it will Offend Him because He put so much work into me to make me the way He wanted me to be. Other times its like saying well God I know that you created me in your image but umm well I don't like it.


Stuff like that. Thats why I refuse to even pray for another arm. Whats the point anyway. It will just get in the way anyway. Yes there are times when I wish I did have two arms but its usually when I am frustrated about something that I was either unable to do or it was near impossible to do.
