Be better prepared for tomorrow by learning these skills today.
Time for a Talk
Here are some tips for the next time you’re asked to give a talk in church:
-
Pray for help preparing a good message.
-
Divide a paper into four sections: Introduction, Story, Scripture, and My Testimony. Write a sentence or two for each section.
-
Practice saying the sentences until you remember them.
-
Relax and remember that everyone listening is on your side!
-
End your talk with, “In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.”
Introduction
Today I want to talk about prayer.
Story
In the Friend magazine, there was a story about a boy and girl who were lost in a big city. They prayed for help and were able to find their way home.
Scripture
Alma 37:37 says, “Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good.” This means that Heavenly Father will help us make good choices.
My Testimony
I know Heavenly Father loves us. We will be blessed when we pray to Him.
