This week we are learning about the first vision of Joseph Smith.

January 13–19: “I Saw a Pillar of Light”

Joseph Smith History 

Joseph Smith is the Prophet of the Restoration.

Joseph Smith was prepared to be a prophet of God.

We will also learn from Joseph Smiths first vision in the sacred grove, a pattern of prayer that we can follow to get answers ourselves.

WE can follow the pattern Joseph showed us during his life, a pattern of prayer!

Joseph said he was twelve when he started thinking about which church he should join. He had the first vision when he was 14. So this wasn’t a question he figured the answer to in a day, a week, or a month.

For our pattern of prayer, to be like Joseph, we should know that sometimes answers to our questions can take time.

Joseph tells us when he was trying to decide which church to join, he was so young that he could not come to any certain conclusion and needed wisdom from god since he did not know how to act.

For our pattern of prayer, to be like Joseph, we need to make sure we gather all the information we can and then go to God.

Joseph said he spent time in serious reflection. When we need help, do we spent time pondering solutions? If you want help on a test, you’ve got to study, - you can’t just pray for an A and not do your part and expect God to help.

Joseph said he attended all the different meetings as often as he could. He was doing his divine homework!

Joseph made a decision, he chose which church he thought was best, then he that decision to God to see if it was right. Often Heavenly Father expects us to make the best choice we can and then ask him to confirm if it is the right choice.

Joseph went somewhere where he could be unrushed and uninterrupted with God.

If you follow this pattern of prayer, and try to be like Joseph, we testify that you will be able to say the same thing to your mom that Joseph said to his right after he went home after having had the first vision…

I have learned for myself

Remember in the beginning Joseph didn’t know what to do? He was so confused. But in studying and praying like Joseph we testify you will be able to say all is well, i know for myself.
