"I Will Follow God's Plan"

Song:
"I Will Follow God's Plan" Children's Songbook, p. 164.

Gospel Standard:
I will follow Heavenly Father's plan for me. (Faith in God guidebooks, backcover)

Quote:

"Every good thing you do in your life is following God's plan. Every time you are kind to another person, each time you have courage to do something difficult, each time you do a thoughtful act without being asked, each time you say your prayers, each time you read the scriptures, each time you go to church, each time you help a friend--you are following God's plan for you." (Michaelene P. Grassli, "I Will Follow God's Plan for Me," Ensign, Nov. 1988, 90)

Lesson:

Materials needed: A paper with an arrow drawn on it, and a mirror.

Procedure: Suggest that if we were to get lost, the most important thing we would need would be directions to point the way home. Hold up the arrow so that it points to either the right or left. Explain that Heavenly Father gives us directions which we can trust will lead us back home. Satan desires to stop us from returning home. He will do anything he can to trick us and give us wrong directions.

Hold the mirror next to the arrow, angle them slightly towards each other so that the arrow is reflected in the mirror. The reflected image will point in the opposite way the arrow points. Use this to illustrate how real Satan's deceptions can be, nevertheless they will not lead us home.

Review the thought by Sister Grassli above to help us decide whose plan we are following.

(Beth Lefgren and Jennifer Jackson, More Power Tools for Teaching, [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1991], p. 14.)
