In Luke chapter 17 we can read the account of the 10 lepers. I believe we are given scriptures to help guide us in life. I wrote the following analogy so I could better relate to the account of the lepers.
The Ten Burdened Women
And it came to pass, as He went to Arizona, that He passed through the midst of Show Low and Pinetop. And as He entered into a certain ward, there He met ten women that were heavy with burdens.
And when He saw them, He said unto them, come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest. And it came to pass, as they went, their burdens were lightened. And Jesus blessed the women with strength to endure their trials and wisdom to know how to handle them and visiting teachers to help them. And one of them, when she saw that her burdens felt lighter, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God. And she fell down on her knees, giving Him thanks. And Jesus answering said, were there not ten blessed? But where are the nine? And the nine did not give thanks because although they had been blessed with strength and wisdom and help, their trials were still there. But Jesus knew that that is how we are cleansed. And he said unto the one, arise, go they way; thy faith hath made thee whole.
Christ cleansed the lepers bodies. He is trying to cleanse our spirits. We would not make it through the fiery furnace of trials without His support. Do we thank him for that support?
In the conference talk "The Divine Gift of Gratitude" President Monson said, "Gratitude unlocks the doors of heaven."
If we are in need of something from our Heavenly Father (which we all are) we need to first reflect on the many things we have been given and share those expressions of gratitude, not only to Heavenly Father, but also to those around us.
