How can Christians respond to the question 'Why me, Lord?'?

Answered in 1 source

Christians should transform 'Why me, Lord?' into 'Why not me?' as a reflection of God’s sovereign choice.

The question 'Why me, Lord?' is often rooted in self-reflection and may imply that we seek to find a reason for God’s grace within ourselves. However, when we truly grasp the gospel, we realize that there is no sound reason in us for God to save us. Instead of asking why God would choose us, we should embrace the perspective of 'Why not me?' recognizing that God saves whom He wills and that His grace is sufficient for the greatest of sinners. This shift in perspective frees us from self-reliance and places our confidence in God’s ability to save through Christ alone, according to His perfect will.
