Who Do You Want To Be?

Scripture

(ESV) Luke 17:11–19

17:11

On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee.

17:12

And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance

17:13

and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”

17:14

When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed.

17:15

Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice;

17:16

and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan.

17:17

Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?

17:18

Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”

17:19

And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”

10 were healed.
9 kept walking.
1 turned back.

Benefit (1 of 21)

Better Sleep

Gratitude helps you fall asleep faster and rest more deeply.

Why It Helps

Grateful thoughts at bedtime crowd out worry and racing thoughts, calming the mind so the body can rest.

Research Shows

In a study of 401 people, those with a more grateful outlook fell asleep faster, slept longer, and reported better sleep quality — largely because they carried more positive and fewer negative thoughts into bed.
