"Lord, if you are willing..."

Matthew 8:2 "A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

Luke 5:12 "While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

Mark 9:22-24 'It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us." 'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for one who believes." Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"

Over the past few weeks we have been looking at the stories of Jesus in our lunch hour Bible class. Yesterday, I asked the kids to sit and write down something that they would ask the Lord for if he was willing.  Here are their statements:
