Hello and welcome to this weeks Come Follow Me Overview! My name is Spencer Charles but some people call me Latterdayhelp and I will be sharing this week what I liked about Come Follow Me. Let’s Begin!

Suggestion: when using The Come Follow Me book, use this page for my commentary and overview. You will see a quote from the Come Follow Me and my comments on it. First, look at the quote and when it appears in the book, read my commentary below the quote. Repeat until you finish the Come Follow Me for this week. Enjoy!!! 

“No wonder Joseph Smith cried out, “O God, where art thou?” The answers he received, the “knowledge from heaven” that came “pouring down” in that miserable jail, demonstrate that although it may not always feel like it, God is never far away. No power can “stay the heavens,” the Prophet learned. “God shall be with [His faithful Saints] forever and ever.” (Doctrine and Covenants 121:1, 33; 122:9.)”

During trials or times of distress, we may call out and ask God where He is. I promise you He is always with you and that He will never forget you. He will help you every step of the way!

“When we or those we love are in the midst of suffering, it is normal to wonder if God is aware of us. As you read Doctrine and Covenants 121:1–6, think about times when you have had questions or feelings similar to Joseph Smith’s. What do you find in the Lord’s response that might help you when you have those questions or feelings?”

I like this question. We may just like Jospeh have the same thoughts or questions. Reading D&C 121:1-6 May help you with those thoughts or questions.

“As you consider the deception and “craftiness of men” in the world today, think about what things “lie in [your] power” to do (verses 12, 17). Why is it important to do these things “cheerfully”? (verse 17). Who do you know who is “kept from the truth” (verse 12), and how can you help this person to find it?”

We can stand out from the world and tell others the truth. We should do these cheerfully because we know the truth and we can give that truth to others!

“Doctrine and Covenants 121:1–10.The “dungeon” in Liberty Jail was only 14 by 14.5 feet (4.2 by 4.4 meters). How can you help your family imagine what it would have been like to be confined to a space of that size for four cold months?”

You can do what my seminary teacher did. Measure the length of the jail room and tape the border of it on the ground. This will help you better see and understand what they had to deal with.
