ACTIVITY:

Share ways they have been guided as they trusted in Heavenly Father to guide them.
THOUGHT TREAT Confidence Cookies.
Share a cookie with children and ask them, “Do you have confidence or trust that what I am telling you is true?
The best way to know the truth is to read the scriptures and pray, asking Heavenly Father to give you a feeling of peace and joy if these things are true.
We are promised that God’s Spirit will give us a peaceful feeling (when something is right). There is a certain sweetness that comes from having your own testimony, just like these sweet Confidence Cookies. Another way to gain confidence is to live the commandments to be worthy of truth and God’s blessings.
