What Is The Most Precious Gift In life? 

Giving is the ultimate gift of life – and you don't need money or special skills to do it. The best way to give to others is to be fully present. To give deeply of yourself, your time and attention.

Discover Your Gifts

Here are nine ideas to help you discover some of your not-so-obvious gifts.

Ask Others To Let You Know

Sometimes we don’t see in ourselves what others can see in us. Ask a friend, relative, or Church leader to write you a note about a gift or talent they see in you.

Look For Gifts In Adversity

During hard times we can choose between letting our best qualities or our worst qualities come out. When times are tough, focus on discovering and using your best qualities and gifts.

Pray For The Help To Recognize Your Gifts

Heavenly Father knows our divine potential. If we have a difficult time seeing that in ourselves, He can help. You can pray for help to recognize your gifts.

Don’t Be Afraid To Branch Out

Do we only develop the gifts that we already know we have because we’re too afraid to do something we haven’t done before? Now’s the time to try something new and discover unknown gifts.

Search The Word Of God

Heavenly Father helps us discover and develop our gifts through clues found in the scriptures—usually through invitations to act. Take this scripture for example: “Cease to contend one with another; cease to speak evil one of another” (D&C 136:23). What gifts could you develop from this invitation? The gift of speaking kind words, the gift to calm others, the gift of restraint, and more. And that’s just from one verse!

Look Outside Yourself

Sometimes our best qualities come out when we’re not focusing on ourselves but focusing instead on how we can work with and help others. When we do that, we’ll see that we have many Christlike gifts.

Think About People You Look Up To

Who are some of your role models? You can make a list of all of the gifts your role models have and, instead of focusing on which gifts you don’t have in common, celebrate discovering the ones you do.

Reflect On Your Family

What gifts do you have that your siblings, parents, or grandparents have too? Go further! Research family history, discover stories, and identify even more gifts you share with your family.

Receive and Study Your Patriarchal Blessing

Your blessing could talk about gifts you have and should develop, and it could also point you to the path that will lead to the discovery of other new gifts and talents.

Be Perfected in Him

We don’t have to be the best at everything to know we’re worthwhile children of God. We just need to be dedicated to discovering and developing our gifts and talents—then, through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can become perfect in Him.

PRAYING FOR YOUR CHILDREN

Father, I am Your child. I have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. My sins are forgiven. As the head of my household, I pray according to Your Word, asking for Your protection for each of us. Give safety to my children and ease them day by day. Our life is exceedingly filled with the scorning and scoffing of those who are at ease and with the contempt of the proud (irresponsible tyrants who disregard Your law). Lord, You see the violence that is in the streets and in our schools. The drug dealers and the gang members living in our neighborhoods are waiting to snare our children.

On the authority of Your Word, I ask that You destroy [their schemes]; O Lord, confuse their tongues, for I have seen violence and strife in the inner city. Day and night they go about on its walls; iniquity and mischief are in its midst. Violence and ruin are within it; fraud and guile do not depart from its streets and marketplaces. I am calling upon You, Lord, and You will save me and my household as well.

Father, in the name of Jesus, You, and You alone, are our safety and our protection. My household and I are looking to You, for our strength comes from You — the God Who made heaven and earth. You will not let us stumble. You are our Guardian God Who will not fall asleep. You are right at our side to protect us. You guard us from every evil, You guard our very lives. You guard us when we leave and when we return. You guard us now; You guard us always.

My household was chosen and foreknown by You, Father, and consecrated (sanctified, made holy) by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and to be sprinkled with [His] blood. We receive grace (spiritual blessing) and peace in ever-increasing abundance [that spiritual peace to be realized in and through Christ, freedom from fears, agitating passions, and moral conflicts].

Lord, Your Son, Jesus, became our Passover by shedding His own precious blood. He is the Mediator (the Go-between, Agent) of a new covenant, and His sprinkled blood speaks of mercy. On the authority of Your Word, I proclaim that the blood of Jesus is our protection, as it is written, “...when I see the blood, I will pass over you...” (Ex. 12:13). I declare and decree that I am drawing a bloodline around my children, and the evil one cannot cross it.

I know that none of the God-begotten make a practice of sin — fatal sin. The God-begotten are also the God-protected. The evil one can’t lay a hand on my household. I know that we are held firm by You, Lord. Father, thank You for Your divine protection. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.

BIBLE EMERGENCY NUMBERS

John14:1–4 In 13:36 Jesus responded to Peter’s question individually; now He answers the same question for all the disciples.

14:2 Mansions literally means “dwelling places.” A better translation is “rooms,” conveying the idea that there is ample space in heaven for all who come to Jesus as Savior.

Psalm 23:1–6 This refreshing pastoral psalm reflects absolute trust and peaceful confidence in God. It is divided into two metaphors: the Shepherd (vv. 1–4) and the Host (vv. 5, 6).

23:1 The picture of God as Shepherd is fulfilled and completed in the Person and work of Jesus Christ who is presented as the redeeming Good Shepherd (John 10:11), the resurrected Great Shepherd (Heb. 13:20), and the returning Chief Shepherd (1 Pet. 5:4).

23:3 Daily restoration of the anxious, weary soul is a major human need (2 Cor. 4:16). Walking the paths of righteousness that the Lord marks results in bringing honor to His name.

23:4 The key to provision is the presence of God (Josh. 1:5–9). This awesome thought causes the psalmist to change from mere statements (He . . .) to spontaneous heavenward praise (You are with me).

23:5 Of the two kinds of oil, the priestly anointing oil and the Oriental perfumed oil, this is the latter. This act shows favor and excellent hospitality.

23:6 Mercy (Hebrew chesed) is the unfailing, steadfast covenant love of God. This lovingkindness is similar to the NT word “grace” (John 1:16)

That’s God! So, with him on my side I’m fearless, afraid of no one and nothing. 2 When vandal hordes ride down ready to eat me alive, Those bullies and toughs fall flat on their faces. 3 When besieged,  I’m calm as a baby. When all hell breaks loose, I’m collected and cool. 4 I’m asking God for one thing, only one thing: To live with him in his house my whole life long. I’ll contemplate his beauty;  I’ll study at his feet.

11-12 Point me down your highway, God; direct me along a well-lighted street; show my enemies whose side you’re on. Don’t throw me to the dogs, those liars who are out to get me filling the air with their threats. 

13-14 I’m sure now I’ll see God’s goodness in the exuberant earth. Stay with God! Take heart. Don’t quit. I’ll say it again: Stay with God.

Psalm 27:1-4  We readily recognize that God’s strength lessens our need for fear, but we may overlook this same potential in His light and salvation.

2, 3 These threats can be withstood because of the confidence David gains from what is described in v. 4.

4 This desire of David gives us a key to understanding why he was a “man after God’s heart,” and so beloved and blessed by Him.

Psalm 27:7-14 MSG

Listen, God, I’m calling at the top of my lungs: “Be good to me! Answer me!” When my heart...After the praise in the first half of this psalm, the topic swings to prayer, ending with the statement revealing the key to victorious living: Wait on the Lord.

27:10 This is the psalmist’s way of saying that God is more concerned about our welfare than even one’s cherished father and mother could ever be. God’s love transcends parental love. This is more of a “proverbial statement,” and is not to be understood as if David’s parents forsook him. ~MSG
