'Lord, if You are willing ...'
“And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, ‘Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.’ Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, ‘I am willing; be cleansed.’ Immediately, his leprosy was cleansed.” Matthew 8:2-3
We find in this leprous man a beautiful example for us in prayer. We should not command God or make demands of Him but, rather, pray with faith in God’s power and will as did this leper, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can …” We know from Scripture that God can do all things and we trust that His will is always for our good and what is best for us.
Dear Lord Jesus, nothing is too hard for You. Grant to me what is for my eternal good. Not my will, but Your good and perfect will be done. Amen.
