. . . ANSWERS THROUGH THE SPIRIT . . .

Doctrine and Covenants 6:58:29:7–9

Heavenly Father can speak to us through the Holy Ghost.

Help the children understand that they have a loving Father in Heaven who listens to their prayers and answers them through His Spirit.

  • Use “Chapter 5: Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery” (Doctrine and Covenants Stories, 22–25, or the corresponding video on ChurchofJesusChrist.org) to tell the children about Oliver Cowdery and what he learned about how Heavenly Father speaks to us. Ask the children to tell you their favorite parts of the story, and let them take turns telling you about Oliver Cowdery.

  • Tell the children that Oliver Cowdery tried to translate the Book of Mormon but couldn’t, so Joseph asked the Lord why. Read to the children the Lord’s answer: “You must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right” (Doctrine and Covenants 9:8). Invite them to pretend to study and pray. Help the children understand that this is how we can receive answers from the Lord too—by studying and asking for His help.
  • Invite the children to touch their heads and their chests as you read the words “mind” and “heart” in Doctrine and Covenants 8:2. Help them understand that Heavenly Father speaks to us through the Holy Ghost, who gives us thoughts and feelings. Sing together a song about the Holy Ghost, such as “The Holy Ghost” (Children’s Songbook, 105). What does the song teach about how the Spirit speaks to us? Share an experience when you felt the Holy Ghost in your mind and heart.

Doctrine and Covenants 6:5, 15–16, 22–238:29:7–9

The Holy Ghost speaks to my mind and my heart.

The children you teach may have received the gift of the Holy Ghost. Do they understand how to recognize personal revelation from the Spirit?

Doctrine and Covenants 6:33–36

With the Savior’s help, I don’t need to be afraid.

Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery had many reasons to be afraid—persecution and poverty were just some of the challenges they faced. The Lord’s message to Joseph and Oliver can also encourage the children when they feel afraid.

. . . FAITH IN JESUS . . .

Doctrine and Covenants 8:10

I can ask in faith.

Throughout the scriptures, the Lord reminds us to have faith in Him. How can you help the children you teach to have greater faith in Jesus Christ?

  • Write on the board Without that without ___________ you can do nothing; therefore ask in ________. Invite the children to try to think of a word that fits in both blanks. Then read together Doctrine and Covenants 8:10 to find the answer. What are some things we can do if we have faith?
    DOWNLOAD 2 Nephi 27:23 scripture poster/card set (HERE or below)

  • After reading together Doctrine and Covenants 8:10, help the children think of things they could ask the Lord to help them with. Invite them to draw a picture that represents something they should ask for. As they show the class their pictures, let the other children guess what the picture represents.

    Doctrine and Covenants 6–79:3, 7–14

    “Even as you desire of me so it shall be.”

    Notice how many times words like “desire” or “desires” appear in sections 6 and 7. What do you learn from these sections about the importance God places on your desires? Ask yourself the Lord’s question in Doctrine and Covenants 7:1: “What desirest thou?”

    One of Oliver Cowdery’s righteous desires—to translate as Joseph Smith did—was not fulfilled. As you read Doctrine and Covenants 9:3, 7–14, what impressions do you receive that might help you when your righteous desires go unfulfilled?

    See also Doctrine and Covenants 11:8; Dallin H. Oaks, “Desire,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2011, 42–45.

    Doctrine and Covenants 6:18–21, 29–37

    Look unto Christ in every thought.

    Even though Joseph had already experienced “difficult circumstances” while doing the Lord’s work (Doctrine and Covenants 6:18), he and Oliver likely had no idea how difficult those circumstances would become over the next several years. But the Lord knew, and He knows what trials are in your future too. His counsel to Joseph and Oliver in Doctrine and Covenants 6:18–21, 29–37 can also help you. How might Joseph and Oliver have felt after hearing these words? What do you find in these verses that helps you trust the Lord?
