Jesus Christ is Our Savior

 Heavenly Father loves each one of us.  Because He loves us, He made a plan for us to return to live with Him again.  No one is perfect.  We all make mistakes.  Heavenly Father gave us a Savior to help us when we make mistakes.  Jesus Christ is our Savior.  Jesus loves us so much He offered to help us.  Jesus took upon Him our sins and taught us how to live.  If we follow Jesus we will be happy here on earth and will be able to live with Him and Heavenly Father again.

Heavenly Father Hears & Answers My Prayers

Heavenly Father loves each one of us very much.  He wants us to talk to him.  We can do this through prayer.  In 3 Nephi, chapter 18, verse 19, Jesus told us, “Ye must always pray unto the Father in my name”.  Throughout the scriptures the prophets prayed to Heavenly Father for help, guidance, and comfort.  We can do the same.  Just like Jesus and the prophets of old we can pray to Heavenly Father if we have a question, need help, or need comfort.

I pray every day.  I thank Heavenly Father for his many blessings and then ask for things I or someone I know might need.  I say prayers with my family and by myself too. 

Last winter I said a special prayer late one night when I was alone in my room.  Our neighbor had a dead tree hanging over our house and my parents were worried it would fall on the house during the storm.  When I heard the wind blowing I decided to say a prayer.  I sat on my bed and prayed to Heavenly Father.  I asked him to keep our house safe during the night.  After the prayer I felt better and went to sleep.  During the storm the tree did not fall and our house was safe.  After the storm we were able to cut the tree hanging over our house.

I know Heavenly Father hears and answers my prayers.  I know this because when I pray I feel good inside.  I know Heavenly Father heard my prayer to keep my house safe.  I am grateful he protected my family and helped me feel calm.  I love Heavenly Father.  In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
