In the latest Growing Faith animated video from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, called “Messy Room Meltdown,” Damien learns that Heavenly Father can help him when he is feeling anxious.

Damien becomes overwhelmed and emotional when he is supposed to clean his room. He prays to Heavenly Father for help, and his older brother and friend teach him different strategies and coping mechanisms as they help him clean up—one item at a time.

“It wasn’t how I thought I’d get help, but it’s what I needed,” Damien says to his parents afterward.

The video is available on the Gospel For Kids YouTube channel, along with others in the Growing Faith series.

In The Holy Ghost and You, author Emily Kelly and illustrator Sarah D. Newell give answers to those questions in a soft and gentle tone, much like the Spirit itself.
