1. When the world and its temptations seem to call you by name, be strong. Be strong.

When they question ev’rything you put your faith in ev’ry day, be strong. Be strong.

And when your trials seem like they’re too hard to bear, remember someone else stands by you who’s already been there.

Be strong and of good courage! Be not afraid. Stand firm in the faith.

For the Lord will be with us wherever we go. Be His. Be one. Be strong!

2. When the world tries to convince you to make the wrong choice, be strong. Be strong.

If in the noise that’s all around you can’t hear the Spirit’s voice be strong. Be strong.

And when you stand for something right and stand alone, remember someone else stands by you in our heavenly home.

Courage-Fasting“Living the law of the fast”

#6

Living the law of the fast is an opportunity to practice integrity. Fasting means to go without food or drink.

See: Gospel Principles Chapter 25:Fasting for more information

1. Generally, what day is set apart for fasting?

2. How many consecutive meals do you go without?

3. How does our attitude influence our experience when we fast?

4. Why do we contribute fast offerings?

My fasting purpose is… ______________________________________You might fast for a sick friend, to overcome a bad habit, to obtain a special

blessing for yourself or someone else, or to give thanks.

I opened my fast with a prayer.

Fasting

Since the time of Adam, God’s people have fasted to help them draw near to Him and to worship Him. Jesus showed the importance of fasting by His own example (see Luke 4:1–4). Through latter-day revelation we learn that the Lord still expects His people to fast and pray often (see D&C 88:76). Fasting means to go without food and drink. Occasional fasting is good for our bodies and helps our minds become more active. The Savior taught us that purposeful fasting is more than just going without food and drink. We must also concentrate on spiritual matters. We Should Pray When We Fast

Prayer is a necessary part of fasting. Throughout the scriptures, prayer and fasting are mentioned together.

I closed my fast with a prayer.

We Should Fast with a Purpose

Fasting can have many purposes. We can overcome weaknesses or problems by fasting and praying. Sometimes we may wish to fast and pray for help or guidance for others, such as a family member who is ill and needs a blessing (see Mosiah 27:22–23). Our purpose in fasting should not be to impress others. The Lord counseled: “Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Fast offerings

When we fast each month, the Lord asks us to help those in need. One way we do this is by giving through the proper priesthood authority the money we would have spent on food for the two meals. We should give as generously as we are able. Through our

fast offerings we become partners with the Lord in administering to the needs of our less-fortunate brothers and sisters. Fasting Teaches Self-Control

Fasting helps us gain strength of character. When we fast properly, we will learn to control our appetites and passions. We are a little stronger by having proved to ourselves that we have self-control. Fasting Gives Us Spiritual Power

When we fast wisely and prayerfully, we develop our faith. With that faith we will have greater spiritual power.

If you are physically able, fast by not eating food or drink for two consecutive meals. You may do this on a fast Sunday. Have a specific purpose in mind as you fast.

By fasting, I learned ________________ and felt _________________.

Courage-Family

“Protect your family from the world”

#7

The document “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” says that “happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Integrity-special needs follow me @ smileifyourhappy.wordpress.com

Study Listen to or read “Family,” For the Strength of YouthBeing part of a family is a great blessing. Your family can provide you with companionship and happiness, help you learn correct principles in a loving atmosphere, and help you prepare for eternal life. Strong families require effort. Your family will be blessed as you do your part to strengthen it. Be cheerful, helpful, and considerate of family members. Many problems in the home come from family members speaking and acting selfishly or unkindly. Seek to be a peacemaker rather than to tease, fight, and quarrel. Show love for your family members each day. Share your testimony with your family through words and actions. Your righteous example can make a difference in strengthening your family. Honor your parents by showing love and respect for them. Obey them as they lead you in righteousness. Willingly help in your home. Participate in wholesome family activities and traditions. Join your family in family prayer, family scripture study, and family home evenings. Keeping these commandments strengthens and unifies families. If your family does not do these things together, pray and study the scriptures yourself. Your example may encourage your family members to join you. Strengthen your relationships with your brothers and sisters. They can become your closest friends. Support them in their interests, and help them with challenges they may be facing. God desires that all of His children come into the world as part of an eternal family with a mother and father who love and care for each other and for their children. If this is not your experience, be patient and continue to live righteously. Look for worthy role models. Prepare now to fulfill your divine roles as a husband or wife and as a parent. Commit to marry in the temple and establish your own eternal family. How sensitive am I to the needs and desires of my family members?

Show your family the chart entitled “Love One Another.” Explain that each time they see a family member showing love to someone in the family, they are to color in one of the rays around the heart. They are also to write that person’s name down on the chart. Each family member could have his name on the chart several times. Put the chart up in a place where all the family members can easily see, read, and color it, such as on the refrigerator or a bulletin board. Challenge each family member to show love in your home throughout the coming week so that all the rays of the heart will be filled in before your next home evening. Challenge them to feel the spirit of love in your home.

Project Ideas

• With another person, write down ways family members show integrity in their lives. Make a collection of these examples and stories by putting them together in a binder or booklet. Share a few stories at a family gathering.

• Having integrity means keeping your commitments. Keep your commitments to others as you participate as a member of a team or organization or responsibilities within family church, school and sports. Write in your journal: “My responsibilities in Young Women are _________. My responsibilities at school are _________. My responsibilities at work are _________. My responsibilities to a team are ____. Now do it. When you accomplish your goal write, “I did it.”

• Using 1 Timothy 4:12 as your guide, help prepare or be involved in an activity or skit that will help you practice being an example of the believers. Share your feelings in Family home evening, Mutual, youth conference or Young Women girl’s camp.

• Read “Dress and Appearance” (For the Strength of Youth, Page 14-16). Make a book of modest clothing from magazines or drawings that will help remind you to dress modestly as explained in For the Strength of Youth and in the words of living prophets.

• Listen to or read Alma 27:27. Read “Honesty” (For the Strength of Youth, page 31). Learn why this principle is important to your happiness. Create an object (such as a picture, hand stitched item or a craft) that will remind you each day of your commitment to be honest and true at all times.
