And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing. You can make me clean.” Matthew 8:2

 Do you have faith in Jesus Christ that He can perform miracles in your life? This leper came to Jesus, knowing of His healing power, and said if you are willing, You can make me clean. He didn’t say…can you make me clean or is it possible for you to make me clean. That leper didn’t question Him, he knew Jesus could heal him and went to Him by faith. As you read the next verse, you see Jesus healed him.

 How many times have you asked God for help in the form of a question? God, can you help me? God can you heal me? God can you work a miracle in a situation I’m facing? Asking God through a question shows a lack of faith and actually disappoints God when you question His abilities.

 But let him ask in faith, without doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded minded man, unstable in all his ways. James 1:6-8

 It’s ok to ask for God’s will to be revealed as you navigate through life. But, when you seek His help, make your request with the authority given to you as a child of God: Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16.

 God loves you and wants to provide you all the necessities of life. When you put your faith and trust in His ability to meet those needs, you are assured of His response by providing you His very best.

 Jesus said, “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. Matthew 21:22
