How can I know my Heavenly Father?

Study guide for the lesson to be given on Jan 12, 2014

How can we come to know what Heavenly Father is like?

First paragraph in "The Grandeur of God" by Jeffery R Holland General Conference Oct 2003

Why is it important for us to know Him?

Second paragraph in "The Grandeur of God" by Jeffrey R Holland General Confrerence Oct 2003 (Honestly…if you do NOTHING else for this lesson prep. READ THIS TALK!!! It is incredibly profound and absolutely true.)

John 17:3

What are some of the tools we have been given to come to know Him?

1 John 4:7-8
Mosiah 5:13
Doctrine & Covenants 93:1
"Using the Supernal Gift of Prayer" by Richard G Scott General Conference Apr 2007 (first three paragraphs-but the whole thing is good! :) of course!)

Personal Progress Goal:
Individual Worth value experience #1 ( I would add reading (or watching!!) "The Grandeur of God" to this- it's not mandatory ( of course) but highly recommended …by me!)

  1. 1 .  You are a daughter of Heavenly Father, who knows you and loves you . Read Psalm 8:4–6; Jeremiah 1:5; John 13:34; Doctrine and Covenants 18:10; Abraham 3:22–23; and Joseph Smith—History 1:1–20 . Write in your journal how these scriptures teach you that Heavenly Father knows you, loves you, and is mindful of you .
