Luke 17:11-17 (NIV) says, "Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?” We should always attach our faith to our thankfulness. In 1 Thessalonians 5:6-8 (AMPC) says, “Accordingly then, let us not sleep, as the rest do, but let us keep wide awake (alert, watchful, cautious, and on our guard) and let us be sober (calm, collected, and circumspect). For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk, get drunk at night. But we belong to the day; therefore, let us be sober and put on the breastplate (corslet) of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation.” We should walk through each situation with thanksgiving in our hearts. Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) reminds us that we “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” We must fight, pray and walk in thanksgiving in order to cover our heart, spirit, and mind in it. Every moment thanking the Lord for our many blessings for every moment of the day. In this time of uncertainty, we have can say an extra thanks to our Lord for providing, uniting, and praising.
