I am loving putting together these weekly devotionals together for you. As we continue I am able to notice some wonderful patterns that help us repeat lessons or build on concepts we have already started to understand. This week Doctrine and Covenants has led us to talking about the deception of Satan, the power of prayer, finding strength in family (especially siblings) and more. Join us for another wonderful week.

Monday
Memorize Doctrine and Covenants 10:5
Read Doctrine and Covenants 10:1-33
Satan is so good at twisting our efforts and distracting us from the Lord’s work. He will do anything to stop the progression of the gospel. During today’s reading we will learn about the lost pages and Satan’s plan to discredit the scriptures. Let’s focus today on how to we can stay in the safe zone by following warning and promptings from the Holy Ghost.Last week, we learned about personal revelation and how we feel the Holy Ghost. This is a great step to know why we listen and how we need to develop our skills so that we cannot be tricked by Satan.

Prayer is a tool that we have been given by Heavenly Father. Prayer allows us to speak directly to God and also helps us slow down in order to listen to promptings. Satan doesn’t want us to pray because he knows it unlocks God’s power. A great cross reference to make would be Doctrine and Covenants 10:5 to 2 Nephi 32:8.

Hyrum Smith and Joseph Smith had such a special bond as brothers. They loved each other, supported one another and served the Lord together. In Doctrine and Covenants 11 you will read about a special revelation given to Hyrum. I wanted to spend some time this week building our kids relationships as siblings.

The world is especially heavy right now. There is a lot on everyone’s shoulders and often it seems to much to bear. As an adult I know that all things are possible through Christ and I have some good tools to help me recharge but honestly, I still find myself struggling. Today we are going to help our kids start developing habits to help them recharge. I am not going to give you a script to read off but here are some ideas that I received from families on Instagram.

Earlier this week we learned about Satan and how he distracts or confuses us. We are using this as a springboard into learning about camouflage found in nature. The animals that use camouflage is found in predators and in prey. This week we will be focusing on predators, making this the perfect opportunity to talk about how Satan is always trying to trick us into being captured or attacks when we think we are safe. Satan is highly skilled in mimicry which makes him exceptionally dangerous. (On a side note, don’ t look up hidden predators, it is all about child predators.)
