12 year old class review
Sister Spratling subbed the 12-13 class
the topic was how can reverence help me receive revelation.
Most of the class time was spent discussing prayer and revelation. The challenge was extended to ask,
seek, and knock, and ponder how The Lord might be speaking to you based off of Matt 7:7-8

What does it mean to bear testimony?
https://www.lds.org/youth/learn/ss/prophets-revelation/testimony?lang=eng
“There is absolutely nothing in this world that will provide more comfort and happiness than a testimony of the truth. … If you feel that you do not yet have the depth of testimony you would wish, I admonish you to work to achieve such a testimony. If it is strong and deep, labor to keep it that way. How blessed we are to have a knowledge of the truth.” - President Thomas S. Monson

Outline: How does reverence help me receive revelation?
We discussed what reverence and revelation mean to class members and how they relate to each other as well as what the scriptures teach about them. We talked about what role revelation can or should play in their lives and why it is important to them. We related the experience of the early Saints in Missouri with the Lord's instruction to "Be still and know that I am God." We also discussed their experiences and ideas regarding how they have or how they can increase a spirit of reverence in their lives.
The Challenge was given for them to take time each day this week to, in some way, "be still" and think about their relationship with their Heavenly Father to cultivate a spirit of reverence and to invite revelation to help them with their challenges.
