Year-long program based on the Relief Society Declaration
 

Booklet Section: Seek spiritual strength by following the prompting of the Holy Ghost.

"With the gift of the Holy Ghost comes the ability to develop a powerfully sensitive capacity to make the right choices.  Cultivate that gift." 
(Elder Richard G. Scott, November 1999 Ensign)

Examples of Goals to Accomplish

  1. Living the Lord's standards requires that we cultivate the gift of the Holy Ghost.  That gift helps us understand doctrine and apply it personally.  With help from the Holy Ghost, find areas in your life you need to change to make your actions consistent with the Lord's standards.

  2. Under the cultivation of the Holy Ghost, your talents become greatly magnified.  With the help of the spirit, find a talent you can yet develop and take classes or read books to begin the process of developing it.

  3. The peril of this century is spiritual apathy.  Our spirit requires the sunlight of the Holy Ghost as well as proper exercise of spiritual functions.  Determine to eliminate one area in your life where spiritual apathy may be present. 

  4. A spiritual experience is any incident that helps us feel the influence of the Holy Ghost or heightens our spiritual awareness and relationship with the Godhead.  Ask Heavenly Father to help you better recognize His influence in your life.  Record these events in your journal.

  5. Develop a habit of serving with the guidance of the Holy Ghost.  Each morning for one month ask Heavenly Father to guide you to those you might serve.  Discuss your experiences with your partner or record them in your journal.

  6. Optional Goals:  You may design two other goals to help you seek spiritual strength by following the prompting of the Holy Ghost.

Goals could be passed off by attending Home, Family and Personal Enrichment meetings.  Classes and guest speakers can be planned with this in mind.
