Object Lesson
Have the Young Women stand or sit in a circle. Say: "Let's play a game called
All You Need." I'll begin with a statement and will throw the ball to someone in
the circle. Whoever catches the ball will finish the statement. For example, if
I say, "All you need to make spaghetti is..." and then throw the ball to you,
you might say, "boiling water." And then you throw the ball to someone else, who
might say "meatballs." Then that person throws the ball to someone else, and so
on. I'll interrupt with new statements, so don't be
concerned if you don't get to answer every statement.
Begin the game by saying: All you need for a good party is... Then have each
person finish the statement as he or she catches the ball. As the game
continues, interject the following statements:
. All you need to fix a flat tire is...
. All you need for a great concert is...
. All you need for a perfect weekend is...
. All you need to be popular is...
. All you need to make friends is...
. All you need for peace is...
. All you need to receive blessings from Heavenly Father is to ...
Ask the girls -
. What was easy about this game? What was difficult?
. Which statements took more thought? Why?
. Was everything mentioned really needed?
. Were some things needed that were not mentioned?
. Is prayer all we need? Why or why not?
There are times when we think we need something, but it is not really a need. It
is merely a desire, a wish. Sometimes there are things we need but we don't
realize it. Fortunately Heavenly Father promises to provide all our. He is all
we need and He blesses us with even more than we ask in our prayers.
