The first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Learn about faith from the scriptures and living prophets. Read Hebrews 11; Alma 32:17–43; Ether 12:6–22; and Joseph Smith—History 1:11–20. Read two general conference talks on faith. Exercise your own faith by establishing a habit of prayer in your life. Begin by regularly saying your morning and evening prayers. After three weeks of following this pattern, discuss with a parent or leader what you have learned about faith and how daily personal prayer has strengthened your faith. In your journal express your feelings about faith and prayer.
My favourite part of his talk is when he says, "Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith". These words really resonated with me. I know that these are truly words from God.
My faith has strengthened greatly since I began this value. I already was saying my prayers morning and night, but they tended to be really quick and not extremely heartfelt. However, I have really noticed a difference now that I take the time to give heartfelt prayers. I know that Heavenly Father is answering my prayers. Now I take the time to look for the little answers that I am looking for and I know that He is listening to me pleas. I know that I must continue with my faith in prayer and knowledge that God is listening to me forward. I must never doubt this knowledge that I have.
