“And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If you will, you can make me clean.” Mark 1:40

The scene is that of a leper who is desperate and desired to be healed. Jesus was also equally willing to heal him completely. The leper here told Jesus that if it was His will, to make him clean.

If we are the kind of people who are praying with selfish motives and wrong desires, it is time we change our pattern of prayer. We need to learn to pray for God’s will over our lives. Such kind of prayer will move God to act in our lives. Keep selfishness and greed far away from your life and submit to God’s perfect will and pray for His will to happen in your life no matter what. God is pleased with that kind of prayer and whatever is acceptable and approving to Him will be permitted and fulfilled in our lives. Jesus was touched with the humility and submission of the leper to God’s will over his life that He touched him who was actually an untouchable and made him whole.

God is willing to touch the area of your life which has been long untouched if you allow access to God in that area. Let us be humble and ask for God’s will over our lives whether we like it or no. God’s plans are just perfect for us. Mary, the mother of Jesus, submitted her life totally in the hands of God and allowed God to intervene in her life and for God’s will to be done in her life and to use her womb for the birth of the Messiah. God wants that willingness and submission for His will over our lives today. Let us be submissive to God’s ways.
