Each day, we face trials and setbacks in our lives. From bad weather and traffic to messy homes and sick kids, difficulties seem like they won’t stop coming. We must choose to carry on and plead with our Heavenly Father for help and to see the good in our lives. He will always answer those prayers and allow us to see our progress in the path that leads back into His presence.
Just as with our own lives, the work of the Lord will carry on no matter what forces are set out to oppose it. Because of who we are, as people who rely on God to do His will, it can’t be stopped. Every day, we can fulfil the words given from Jesus Christ to Joseph Smith: “There is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper” (Doctrine and Covenants 71:9).
This Come Follow Me FHE lesson includes all you need to make everyday scripture study memorable for your kids! Teach your children to love the gospel with our engaging family activities. Start your free trial today!

Explain to your child that Heavenly Father calls a worthy priesthood holder to be the bishop. Explain that a bishop is called to help serve the people in your ward. Those are the people you see at church each week. Read D&C 72:2 and have your child clap when they hear the word “bishop.” Ask what your child knows about the bishop of your ward. Tell your child some details about your bishop, like where he lives or his good qualities. Next, explain some of the roles of the bishop, including how he collects tithing, helps the poor and needy, conducts sacrament meetings and many other important things to help people in the ward come closer to Christ. With your child, play the Pin the Tie on the Bishop Game. Decorate the bishop’s tie with crayons or markers. After playing the game, help your child write a thank you note using one of the ties from the game. Find a time for your child to deliver the thank you note to the bishop.

Learning is a lifelong journey. While we tend to think of our years in school as the only time in life when we need to gain an education, we know through Doctrine and Covenants 88 that the Lord instructs His faithful to create places of learning in their own homes (D&C 88:119). How do we do that?
Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way we had planned: dinner gets burnt, the car won’t start, or you unexpectedly get laid off from your job. You’ve been promised blessings for keeping the commandments. It might be tempting to wonder where those blessings are when ill fortune strikes.
What is “godliness?” Doctrine and Covenants Section 84 uses the word to describe the way that God prepares us to return to live with Him one day. We do this by inviting our children to be baptized and prepare for the temple. Through participating in priesthood ordinances, we increase our access to the priesthood and experience “the power of godliness” as we come to see God’s presence in our lives every day (Doctrine and Covenants 84:20).
