Amen. "If you are willing, heal me" is a prayer of humility and faith—the cry of the leper who came to Jesus, trusting in His power to heal and submitting to His will. It acknowledges that God is sovereign, but also that He is compassionate and willing to restore.
📖 The Scriptural Foundation
"A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, 'Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.' Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. 'I am willing,' he said. 'Be clean!' Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy." (Matthew 8:2-3)
"Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. 'I am willing,' he said. 'Be clean!' Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed." (Mark 1:41-42)
"Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. 'I am willing,' he said. 'Be clean!' And immediately the leprosy left him." (Luke 5:13)
