Lesson 4

Lesson Title: "Seeking the Companionship of the Holy Ghost"

OTHER RESOURCES:

OBJECTIVE:

Each young woman will strive to be worthy of the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost.

PREPARATION:

  1. Picture 3, Nephi, Laman, and Lemuel, located at the back of the manual.
  2. Optional: Bring a handkerchief or scarf large enough to wrap around the head.
  3. Optional: Provide a large card (with a decorative edge) and a pen for each girl to copy the chalkboard discussion.
  4. Assign young women to present any stories, scriptures, or quotations you wish.

ATTENTION GETTER:

Ask one of the girls to put a blindfold over her eyes. Turn her around several times so that she will not know what direction she is facing. Now ask her to point to something (for example, the north side of the room, the chalkboard, or another object). She may tell you she doesn’t know where it is or she may answer incorrectly. With the handkerchief still covering her eyes, have one of the other class members stand near the object you named and say in a soft voice, “Here it is.” Now again ask this young woman to tell where the chalkboard is. If she trusts the voice, she should be able to answer correctly.

CONCLUSION:

“Whether it be an instantaneous protective act, a feeling of his words, or a reading in which one hears his voice, it comes from God. All of these are gifts of the Spirit to one who has received the Holy Ghost at baptism and is intent on enjoying his influence” (S. Dilworth Young, “How the Holy Ghost Can Help You,” New Era, Oct. 1971, p. 6). Remind the girls that their ability to hear the still, small voice of the Holy Ghost depends on their faithfulness to the Lord’s commandments. If they listen to the Holy Ghost, his promptings can be their greatest source of comfort and guidance, a constant companion. We need never be alone when we are worthy to receive the Holy Ghost.
