Is it me or is it especially astounding to hear from those who recovered from serious illnesses or accidents repeatedly say they were fortunate because God was responsible somehow? How about all the men, women and children who die horrible painful deaths under the same watch? Are we supposed to say they had it coming, or they're part of a bigger plan? Who exactly would sign up for that? Sorry but to hear it consistently which is something I hear a lot of lately is difficult to pass up commenting on. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense if one rationalizes a bit...

Ask those folks why God won't restore the lost limbs of amputees.

Ask God: When I heard the idea of recieving disability funds all my life, what I wanted? An rudimentary ammount of allowance throughout my life though. O well, joy. At least I will have a meal of my own choice
everyday throughout my life.
To OP: God has a plan for you. You could be HIS vessel here.

Does God have the right to bless whom he wishes to bless?

I think the point being raised is...why wouldn't an omnipotent & omniscient god watch over and bless everybody? Why favor interventionism sometimes yet not other times?
We know innocents have died horrifically and less desirables (by any moral code) have lived long, relatively prosperous lives. And to this end...I would assert that if there truly is a god watching over us, we can not trust his/her intentions without better qualification. Even if that same entity created us.

I get what you're saying. But do you believe that an omnipotent and omniscient God has the right to save whom he wants to? Why must he do things according to how you would prefer he do it?

not might. We've covered that. God isn't right because he's big and tough.
