Dorene L. teaches a monthly special needs Personal Progress lesson and says of this image: “[I] wanted something cute for a poster to get the message across about listening for the answers to our prayers.

To the Nephites He said, “Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall…

Heavenly Father wants me to pray to Him often — anytime, anywhere.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them (Mark 11:24).

The scriptures teach me how to pray.
In the scriptures we find many examples of prayer. Enos prayed for his family, his friends, and his enemies. Joseph Smith prayed when he had a question. The Brother of Jared prayed when he had a problem. Jesus Christ prayed for each of us. We follow the example of others who showed us how to pray. Talk Source: Jenny Smith
Family prayer, family scripture study, and family home evening can strengthen my family.
President Hinckley has taught ways to strengthen our families. Here is what he said: “A generation or two ago, family prayer in the homes of Christian people throughout the world was as much a part of the day’s activity as was eating. As that practice has diminished, the moral decay discussed by the Apostle Paul has ensued. “I feel satisfied that there is no adequate substitute for the morning and…

I wonder what I’ll be good at?
Luke 15 While we were watching this fantastic movie this morning: all of the students were commenting on how talented this sand story artist, Joe Castillo is. Then, one of my least introspective students asked himself aloud: “I wonder what I’ll be good at?” Another Freshman turned to him and said, “I know man! Me, too!” I didn’t know what to say to him that wouldn’t sound like a platitude,…

Prayer can ‘Topple’ Sin
Prepare some dominoes for an object lesson (or something that could be used in place of dominoes). On the first domino attach the label, Prayer. Attach other labels such as hate, anger, pride, selfishness, greed, dishonesty, and so on. Use as many dominoes as you think advisable, labeling each. On the reverse side of each domino (except for the one labeled prayer), write labels naming the opposite of the sin…
