​YOUTH VERSION (Ages 13–17)

Don't Forget to Remember
 

📖 BIBLE VERSE

Luke 17:17 (NLT)
“Didn't I heal ten men? Where are the other nine?”

 

🔥BIG IDEA

Gratitude keeps you connected to the God who blesses you.

 

💡STORY / TEACHING

Ten men prayed to Jesus for healing.

All ten were healed.

But only one came back to thank Him.

The other nine were happy about the miracle—but they forgot about the One who performed it.

That still happens today.

People pray when life is hard.

But when God answers, they move on and forget Him.

Real faith doesn’t just receive blessings.

Real faith remembers the One who gave them.

 

🎯CHALLENGE

Today, pause and ask yourself:

What prayer has God answered in my life?

Then take one minute and thank Him.

Grateful people stay close to God.

 

🙏PRAYER

God,
Thank You for every blessing in my life.
Help me never forget where my help comes from.
Teach me to be grateful and stay close to You.
Amen.
