(arms slowly drop to shoulder level) Faith is knowing the Lord will hear (cup hands behind ears) My prayers each time I pray. (place hands together as in prayer) Faith is like a little seed: (cup left hand and pretend to plant a seed in it with right hand) If planted, it will grow. (right hand imitates a plant growing from the cupped left hand) Faith is a swelling within my heart. (place hands over heart) When I do right, (point right index finger upward) I know. (touch right index finger to head)

  6. Faith Faith is knowing I lived with God before my mortal birth. Faith is knowing I can return when my life ends on earth. Faith is trust in God above; In Christ, who showed the way. Faith is strengthened; I feel it grow Whenever I obey. Words: Beatrice Goff Jackson, b. 1943. (c) 1978 IRI Music: Michael Finlinson Moody, b. 1941. (c) 1978 IRI

  10. Attention Activity • We also believe that the Holy Ghost is real and that he does not have a body of flesh and bones but is a personage of spirit in the form of a man.

  12. Attention Activity • We are Heavenly Father’s children and can show that we have faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. • In the Book of Mormon, a prophet named Lehi showed his faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus by being obedient. • This is what our lesson is about today.

  32. Let’s Read 1 Nephi 2:1–2. 1 For behold, it came to pass that the Lord spake unto my father, yea, even in a dream, and said unto him: Blessed art thou Lehi, because of the things which thou hast done; and because thou hast been faithful and declared unto this people the things which I commanded thee, behold, they seek to take away thy life.  2 And it came to pass that the Lord commanded my father, even in a dream, that he should take his family and depart into the wilderness.

  33. What did Heavenly Father command Lehi to do? • Leave Jerusalem and go into the wilderness. • The wilderness is usually a place where no one lives and where there are no houses, buildings, or roads.

  35. Wicked men were planning to kill Lehi, and the city was going to be destroyed. • Why was Lehi commanded to take his family out of Jerusalem?

  36. 3 And it came to pass that he was obedient unto the word of the Lord, wherefore he did as the Lord commanded him.  4 And it came to pass that he departed into the wilderness. And he left his house, and the land of his inheritance, and his gold, and his silver, and his precious things, and took nothing with him, save it were his family, and provisions, and tents, and departed into the wilderness. • Ask the children to listen to what Lehi did; Let’s read 1 Nephi 2:3–4.
