Expecting Too Much From God

Prompt: Do you feel like you are expecting too much from God or too little from him?

I don't feel like I am expecting too much from God. I have some arthritic leg pain and I would like to have no pain. We know God can do anything and everything. I don't expect a perfect life or charmed life. I pray God will help me with things. I go to Church and try to be the best Christian I can be. I think if we just pray for our health, the world, friends and don't ask for a million bucks, or a ticket to go to outer space or send us a dinosaur, THAT would be expecting too much of God. We need to ask for reasonable things and think of others as we pray to God.
