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.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
