During times of trial and difficulty, we might want to know why we’re going through them and how we can have happy times again. We might not know all the answers right now, but we are promised that one day, we will. In Doctrine and Covenants 50:24, we read that as we “continueth in God,” the light and knowledge we receive from Him will grow “brighter and brighter until the perfect day.”
We can find assurance that He cares about us through the many ways we can invite His light into our lives: prayer, scripture study, making and keeping covenants, service, and so on. When we hear His voice, either directly through the Holy Ghost or through living prophets, we should feel joy for being “accounted of God worthy to receive” (DC 50:34).

Hands-On Activity
Create a path of footprints leading to a picture of Christ. To create the footprints, trace your children’s feet with chalk, go to a park and have them step in the sand, or use the Footsteps to Christ printable. Read D&C 49:12-14. Each time your children make a footprint, have them tell you one way they can follow in Christ’s footsteps.
Surprise Activity
As a family, read D&C 49:2 and talk about how we have the fullness of the gospel. Then do the “In Part, But Not All” activity using ingredients to one of your favorite family treats to help your children learn this concept. Share your testimony of the fullness of the gospel and how it has blessed your family.
Coloring Page
Read D&C 50:40-46 and explain how the “Good Shepherd” (Jesus) is watching over and preparing us for His second coming. Then, let your children color the “Good Shepherd” coloring page.

Hands-On Activity
Help your child draw a rainbow with crayons on a sheet of paper. Teach that rainbows appear in the sky after it has rained. Rainbows help us remember the blessings that Heavenly Father gives us after the rain has cleaned the earth. Read D&C 49:12-14 and explain that baptism provides the way for us to become clean. With your child, sing the song “When I Am Baptized” (Children’s Songbook, p. 103) and watch the video (click or scan the QR code). Share your testimony about your baptism day. You could even show your child baptism pictures if you have them! Complete the When I’m Baptized mini book with your child and explain that they can choose to be baptized, too!

In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
Abraham and Sarah had a lot to worry about. From infertility and famine to war and the safety of their family, it could have been easy to forget their covenants while focusing on their daily concerns. Yet they showed faith by putting the Lord first each day. As a result of keeping their covenants, they knew the Lord would help them throughout their lives. As Abraham told his son, Isaac, “God will provide” (Genesis 22:8). We should follow Abraham’s example of faith and always put the Lord first.
