Instructions for Discussion
Below are suggested questions you can ask students to reflect on to help with your discussion. You may be inspired to ask different questions based on the needs of your group.
- Sister Runia said that "Prayer is a form of work." What does that look like for you? What are things that you do in your prayers so you connect with Heavenly Father and you can feel His power in your life every day?
- How do you seek Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ in your life? How do you notice their presence in your life each day? Can you share an experience?
- Sister Runia invited us to continue praying even when it seems like you aren't receiving the answers you want. How does daily prayer change your heart? How is it helping you become more like Heavenly Father?
