God, Our Heavenly Father

God is your Father in Heaven. He created your spirit, and that makes you His child. God has a body of flesh and bones, like you and me, but his body is immortal and perfect. He loves you deeply and His greatest desire is for you to return to live with Him. To help us become more like Him, He sent us to Earth so we could learn and grow. As a loving parent, He wants to help you along the way. But it’s up to us to let Him into our lives.

God’s help can come in many forms. One important way of receiving God’s help is by talking to Him through prayer. He answers our prayers with inspiration, guidance, feelings of comfort, understanding, and hope.

God also helps us through the scriptures, which contain messages from God through his prophets. Prophets write the messages they receive from God and share them with us. The Bible is one example of this. Reading the scriptures blesses our lives with direction and inspiration from Him.

God allows us to be born into families. It’s His desire for family members to love one another and help each other through life. Sometimes our family doesn’t support us like they should, so God also helps us by placing other people our lives to lend their love and support.

Jesus Christ established a Church during his mortal ministry. His Church is designed to help us through life by accessing His love and power, while feeling support from others around us.
