Mark 1:40

Mark continues, “A leper came to [Jesus], begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, ‘If you want to, you can make me clean’” (Mark 1:40 WEB).  What a beautiful prayer.  This leper knows that what Jesus desires is not his own arbitrary pleasure or whim—no, Jesus desires what is good for me!  And if you desire it, Lord, you are able to wash and cleanse, restore, save, and resurrect your dear child.  I am in your hands.
