Power doesn't flow until the circuit is closed- gratitude is the return wire that closes the circuit.

OUTLINE:
Request  (Luke: 17:11-13)
Response  (Luke: 17:14)
Return  (Luke: 17:15-19)

QUESTIONS:
(Luke: 17:11-13)  Where has pain in your life recently exposed something you were previously in denial about?  When you cry out to God, what are you usually asking for-relief or relationship? How can you tell the difference?

(Luke: 17:14)  Jesus sends the lepers before they see results.  Where might God be asking you to obey without immediate evidence that things will change?  In what area of your life do you want God to remove discomfort, but He may be trying to develop maturity instead?

(Luke: 17:15-19)  Where has gratitude faded in your life- not because God stopped working, but because life moved on?  What blessings have become expectations in your life?  Where does forgetful ingratitude exist in your heart? How has that ingratitude ‘short circuited’ joy, peace, intimacy and love in your life?
