If you are willing, make me clean.

 Amen. "If You are willing, make me clean" 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 is the honest confession that we cannot cleanse ourselves, but we can come to the One who can.

📖 The Scriptural Foundation

"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)

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
