Prayer: LDS Chatbot. https://ldsbot.com/ .
How is the brother of Jared’s prayer different from a chatbot prayer? How might
the brother of Jared’s prayer be different from our prayers? V. 42 – There will
I meet thee.
We can solve our problems through prayer: as
we call upon Heavenly Father in prayer and do our part to solve our problems,
we can receive the Lord’s help. Invite your students to think of a scriptural
story where the Savior helped someone. Juan Pablo Villar quote
on God helping us if we trust Him. Ask your students to think of a time when
the Savior answered your prayers. What He did for you, if it’s not too personal?
How has prayer helped you receive help from God? What are some other ways you
have received help from God? Maybe ask them, how does your experience with
prayer help you identify attributes of Jesus Christ? Boyd K. Packer quote
on Prayer.
One of the best ways to bring about relevance is to get our
students to come together to help someone in need. You could do this through a
case study. You could ask your students to think of someone who is struggling with
their faith right now. Without telling us who it is, describe their needs to
us. Then use that story as a case study to think of what you could do to help
them. Video example of a case study, rebuilding
my faith because I felt lost watch first 2:16. What might you use to teach
your friend or this young man in the video? Why might it be important for our
friend to recognize his or her own dependence on the Lord? What might help your
friend develop greater trust in the Lord? Also, consider how inviting students
to strengthen the faith of others accomplishes the
objective of seminaries and institutes of religion.
The process of receiving revelation. Ether
4:6-13, have them look for ways to increase our power to receive
revelation. You may need to give them an example of the kinds of things they
are looking for. After they give answers, consider follow up questions like, why
does repentance increase my power to receive revelation (if their answer was to
repent)? This will help them to understand doctrine. What would happen in your
life if you were to receive more revelation? When is a time that you feel like
you have received revelation (please don’t share details that are too personal)?
You could have them find a general conference talk that relates to the thing
they found (for example, if they focused on repentance, have them look for a talk
on repentance).
20:33-23:57
