Discuss how Heavenly Father answers our sincere prayers.
Puzzled about prayer (match game)

Activity: Puzzled about Prayer (Match Game)

TO MAKE: Print, color, and cut out the Puzzled About Prayer cards.

Play: Mix up the cards and place them face down. Divide into teams and take turns turning two pieces over to make a match. Read the card and talk about how Heavenly Father answered the prayer.
Ideas About Prayer: Heavenly Father answers prayers in the impressions we feel or He inspires others to help us. Our feelings might be one of these:
1. TO WAIT (a hesitant feeling)
2. GO AHEAD (a warm feeling)
3. DON’T GO AHEAD (a doubtful feeling).
Answers to prayers come if we listen if we are worthy to receive the inspiration, and if our prayers are sincere.
THOUGHT TREAT: (Prayer Memory Mints). Give each youth a bag of mints with this reminder note: Heavenly Father “mint” for us to pray to Him each day so that He can guide and comfort us. He will answer our prayers if we pray sincerely.
