Faith is choosing to believe that God can do what we cannot. Whether we seek forgiveness of sins, strength to carry on amidst trials, or even a witness of things not seen, God will provide if we have faith.
Even as a prophet, Moroni himself had a crisis of faith when he wondered if the people of our day would accept the Book of Mormon. In his conversation with the Lord, he pleaded that those who read the Book of Mormon will see its message of Christ rather than the imperfections of its writers. The Lord comforted Moroni, extending a promise to both him and us that if we choose to have faith, He will always “make weak things become strong” (Ether 12:27).

This week, we’ll be sharing the gospel with your little ones using the activity book in the Elementary Bundle. Be sure to use the activity book for younger children (Level 1, Recommended for ages 3-6). Print your activity book pages, then cut all of them in half, except the cover. You will fold the cover in half to help keep the pages together. Put all your pages in order inside the cover and then staple along the left-hand edge. Make one book for each of your children.
Go & Do Activity
Tell your child that to get stronger, we need to practice building our muscles. When we don’t exercise our muscles can get weak. Get a ball and have your child do rainbow ball sit-ups. Have your child lie on their back and place the ball between their legs. Invite them to lift their legs up in the air while keeping the ball between them. It should be challenging. Have them try to do as many as they can on their own. Pause and discuss. Ask your child if that was difficult. What was hard about that activity? Did they feel strong or weak? Tell your child about Moroni when he felt frail. He thought that he wasn’t good at writing. He felt like people were going to make fun of him. Ask, “Have you had a time when you felt like you weren’t good at something? What did you do?” Read Ether 12:27. Say, “The Lord tells us that He makes weak things become strong.” Have your child do the rainbow ball sit-ups again, but this time you help lift their legs, keeping the ball in place. The Lord can help us make our spirits stronger. If there is a time when we may feel we can’t do something, he will help us. We have to pray and ask for His help.

The story of David versus Goliath teaches many important principles, with one being that if we try our best and have real faith in God, He will help us make the most of our efforts. Though an army was present and he was offered the king’s armor, David brought his sling and his belief that the Lord would prevail through him. It was enough: “the Lord saveth not with sword and spear” (1 Samuel 17:47) but with trust and hope.
Have you ever been jealous of your neighbor? The Israelites sure were. They wanted a king to rule over them as other nations had, believing that life would be better and more secure. However, when Israel’s prophet prayed about having a king as a leader, the Lord responded that the people’s jealous desire was actually a rejection of Him as their true King: “they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them” (1 Samuel 8:7). Their need for what others’ possessed had decreased their faith in Him.
The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
