Hello Friends! Welcome to my page. Here are this week's free prints. You can print them in the lesson plan below.
Here is the purchasable lesson. Click the image below to go to Etsy.
This is already included in the lesson Bundle, but you can purchase it separately by clicking on the image below:
I can stay true to the Lord when my faith is challenged.
Most of us have experiences that challenge our faith. For Hezekiah and his people, one of those challenges came when the Assyrian army approached Jerusalem. As you read 2 Kings 18–19, imagine that you lived in Jerusalem during this time. How might you have felt, for example, hearing the Assyrians’ taunts in 2 Kings 18:28–37; 19:10–13? What would you have done? Compare the Assyrians’ reasons for the Israelites not to trust the Lord with the reasons Satan gives for us to doubt our faith today. You could also contrast the Assyrians’ reasons with your reasons why you do trust the Lord.
What do you learn from Hezekiah’s actions in this situation? (see 2 Kings 19:1–7, 14–19). How did the Lord respond? (see 2 Kings 19:35–37). Why do you think Hezekiah remained faithful? (see 2 Kings 18:5–7). Ponder how the Lord has sustained you in challenging times. What do you feel inspired to do to increase your trust in Him?
President Jeffrey R. Holland’s message “Fear Not: Believe Only!” (Liahona, May 2022, 34–36) has helpful counsel for times of fear or doubt. A hymn like “Let Us All Press On” (Hymns, no. 243) could also have encouraging messages. What do you find in these resources that helps you?
See also 2 Chronicles 31–32; 3 Nephi 3–4; Jörg Klebingat, “Valiant Discipleship in the Latter Days,” Liahona, May 2022, 107–10.
I have a fun narration that tells this story and still gets the youth in the scriptures. Here is a sample of one of the pages:
This is in the lesson bundle @ the top of the page.
These are the cards; there is also a cheat sheet for the teachers to follow along.
You can do this activity here or save it for the end of the lesson.
“Spread It Before the Lord”
-After the story is told, remind them that Hezekiah received a terrifying letter from Assyria. Instead of just panicking, he took it to the temple and spread it before the Lord.
Then hand out index cards for them to write down the scary thing they want to "Spread before the Lord".
They can keep it personal. But remind them to pray about that this week.
Hezekiah didn’t pretend the letter wasn’t scary. He brought the scary thing to the Lord. Faith doesn’t mean we have no fears. Faith means we know where to take them.

This trivia game is in my store. Click on the image at the top of the page.
Then set up your board like this:
You can remove a category or some of the numbers if you don't think you will have enough time.
I have a question, and an answer. In my store.
Just have them pick a number, and that is the question you will read.
Erase the numbers after the questions are answered.
You can choose to split the class into two teams or have each individual go out on their own.
It's not necessarily Jeopardy, the questions aren't answers..if that makes any sense(: Just a trivia game.
Close with these quotes from Jörg Klebingat, “Valiant Discipleship in the Latter Days,” Liahona, May 2022, 107–10.
