Ideas for Family Scripture Study and Home Evening

Song:

“Dare to Do Right,” Children’s Songbook, 158

Prayer:

Thought/Scripture:

Doctrine and Covenants 8:10.

This may be a wonderful opportunity to share how faith in Jesus Christ has strengthened you and your family.

Why is it important that we “ask in faith”?

What blessings have you seen from seeking answers or help in faith?

Lesson:

Doctrine and Covenants 6:33–37.

Family members could share ways they can “do good,” even when they feel afraid. It could also help to watch all or some of Elder Ronald A. Rasband’s message “Be Not Troubled” (Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2018, 18–21)

.

What does it mean to “look unto [Christ] in every thought”? (verse 36).

What are some other examples of people who turned to the Lord to overcome doubt and fear? (see, for instance, Esther 4; Alma 26:23–31).

Cut the puzzle pieces and tape the “WHY HE OR SHE PRAYED” and the “WHAT HAPPENED” around the room.  Split the family into 4 groups or 4 children.  Give each group a person
Save.  Explain that each person is from the scriptures who prayed for help with different problems and fears and received answers. Have them look around the room for the puzzle pieces that match why they prayed and then what happened.  When they are finished have them tell the family about their person. Tell why they prayed and what happened when they prayed.
