A lot of the reading for this week are Lehi’s words and counsel to his family before he dies. Read the opening paragraphs in the Come Follow Me for Individuals and Families manual on page 22 to begin the lesson. In 2 Nephi 2 we learn that we are free to choose. Discuss what agency means and play the agency thumbs up and down game.
Review the lesson from last week about the Liahona. Consider doing one of the activities you may not have gotten to last week. Discuss how the Liahona directed Lehi’s family to the Promised Land. Complete the mazes.
Read the scripture print and complete the fill in the blank page. Discuss what these verses teach us.
The coloring page this week is one of the bonus ideas. Read the scriptures listed on the summary page as the children color the picture. Then discuss the question at the bottom together.
Another bonus activity includes spelling the word “joy” with your bodies and then handing out an almond joy candy bar with the handout included in your materials. See the summary sheet for the scriptures and discussion questions for this activity.
This week also includes a scripture marking guide. There are two versions. One is meant for younger children with assistance from a parent. The other one is meant for older children to complete individually. Both versions are meant to be a guide for marking and studying their scriptures.

This week’s lesson from Psalms (Psalms 49–51; 61–66; 69–72; 77–78; 85–86) centers on God’s endless mercy, forgiveness, and role as our safe refuge. The psalmists openly share their struggles, fears, and mistakes, showing us that faith isn’t about being perfect—it’s about knowing who to turn to when we need help.
In modern times, the Lord declared “the song of the heart is a prayer unto me” (Doctrine and Covenants 25:12). In ancient times, songs, or psalms, were used to praise the Lord and remember His covenants with His people. Many Psalms are attributed to King David, whose relationship with God is one of the most detailed in the entire Old Testament. It’s no wonder David is thought to be the author of so many songs that praise the Lord for His strength, His mercy, His patience with His children, and His eternal love for all mankind.
Job had many blessings in his life: a large family, a devoted spouse, and wealth that provided plenty and more for his household. Job gave thanks to God for his blessings, but even when nearly every blessing was taken away, he did not lessen his faith. Instead, as those around him said his faith had been a waste of time, Job showed his trust in the Lord by exercising Christlike patience and long suffering. Eventually, Job’s faith was rewarded, and his trust in God was justified.
