I long to feel your healing touch; will you not make me whole? 5 But if the thing I most desire is not your way for me, may faith, when tested in the fire, prove its integrity. 6 Of all my prayers, may this be chief: till faith is fully grown, Lord, disbelieve my unbelief, and claim me as your own.
