In the entirety of the Book of Mormon, power of prayer is taught most clearly by the prophet Enos. His “wrestle which [he] had before God” (Enos 1:2) shows us how we can find peace and hope through our relationship with Christ.
This week’s lesson covers the mighty prayer of Enos, the journey of the Nephites in their commitment to the Lord, and an introduction from Mormon himself. Be prepared for fun crafts and other activities that will help your family discover more ways you can strengthen your ties to the Savior.

The elementary bundle is a treasure trove for kids aged 4-11, featuring activities that instill key principles. Let’s explore three highlights:
Scripture Study
Before reading Words of Mormon (the whole book… it’s only one chapter!), give each of your children one of the “Insights on The Words of Mormon” glue-ins. Read the glue-in and point out that Mormon included these scriptures because they were special to him and he was inspired to include them.
Go & Do Activity
Begin by reading the first chapter of Enos with your family. Then sing “A Prayer Song” (Children’s Songbook, pg. 22) and practice doing what it says. Use the Five Finger Prayer Book and teach what we can pray about. Practice this format of prayer this week and consider choosing someone to pray for.
Hands-On Activity
Display a picture of Enos as you read Enos 1:4-27. Use emotion while you read aloud or call on children who can read to take a turn. Enos teaches that our heartfelt prayers will be answered. Discuss this with your family and share a time when your prayer was answered. Create the “Enos Prayer Wheel” and let children use it to retell the story in their own words.

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams. The toddler bundle Includes a full lesson plan with THREE activities that align with scripture written by an early childhood educator. These include a coloring page, another printable activity, and a movement activity that helps young children understand the scriptures. Here are a couple of highlights from this week’s lesson.
Hands-On Activity
Before you begin teaching, print a “Prayer Sandwich” for each child in your home. Cut out the pieces before the lesson for easy assembly with toddlers. In Enos 1:1-5, Enos prays mightily to the Lord. Just like Enos prayed, we can pray
too! Ask your children when we can pray. Let them share ideas. Teach that we can pray anytime or anywhere: God is always there to help us. For example, we can pray in a public place like a restaurant or at a friend’s house if something goes wrong, and we can even pray at school. Next, share the story of Enos. You can summarize it from Enos 1:2-16. Be sure to share that he
prayed all day and all night and the Lord answered his prayer. Testify of a time God answered your prayer. Lastly, give each child a prayer sandwich and teach them how to pray by stacking the sandwich pieces on top of each
other and read each one aloud as you do. At the end, staple your sandwich together and let your children flip through it again and again to be reminded of how to pray.

Though the writings of Isaiah can be intimidating to study, we are encouraged to dive in and embrace this special part of the Old Testament. Isaiah is unique in that the entire book is written by him, as opposed to the historical texts we read earlier this year. Think about it: the word of the Lord straight from the mouth of an ancient prophet in your own home.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a guidebook on how to be a better parent? On how to have less contention in the home? A word or two on having more patience and kindness? The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom given to David, Solomon, and others who sought the guidance of Heaven. Many verses, when read with prayer and real intent, can answer our prayers when we need heavenly guidance in raising our children, such as this one: “A soft answer turneth away wrath” (Proverbs 15:1).
As we continue through Psalms, we are taught that humility is required to recognize God’s personal affection for each of His children. Heavenly Father knows each of us better than we know ourselves—our thoughts, strengths, and struggles—and offers His scriptures as a light to guide us home through life’s darkness and challenges.
