Praying attitude

Luke 5:12-26
Jesus cleanses a man full of leprosy. He said to Jesus "Lord! if you will, you can make me clean."
Jesus heals a paralytic. This paralytic was carried on a bed, his four friends went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the ties into the midst before Jesus.
Jesus first said "Man, your sins are forgiven you." next , Jesus said "I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home."
Which is easier, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say ,'Raise and walk?'
Jesus has both authority to forgiven sins and healing.
Why?
This leper had right attitude to ask Jesus, so as we shall pray to the Lord, 'If God will, you can make me ...'. The Lord has the authority.
The Paralytic had very good four friends can help him move to Jesus, and he has strong faith and desire to Jesus.
Of cause sins be forgiven is more important than decease be healed, that is relate to the eternal life, and only God has the authority to forgiven sins. So Jesus is the Lord.
Healing is let the sin be expelled temporary. Sick may lead a man to die, healing is drive out the power of dead, expel the visible feature of sin.
How?
Prayer with respect authority of the Lord is the correct attitude.  Enough faith can get the blessing of the Lord.
