The Power to Be Made Strong

In Acts Chapter Three, there is a lame man. Somehow everyday he goes in front of the temple and asks for money so that he could love.In Acts 3: 6-7 it says:

6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

In Seminary we were saying how he asked for one thing, but he got another, something greater. Our teacher then asked if we had any stories like this. This one girl raised her hand and she told us her story. She has a certain disease that her nerve system randomly just shoots out pains. The doctor told her that there was no cure, nothing for it. She prayed all the time to Heavenly Father for the pain to go away, a new medication to null the pain, or for someone to find the cure. She could not stay at school for a whole day because the pain was to great. Nothing that she was praying was working. She then started to pray that the pain could not be so great and and that she could be able to go to school for an entire day. This worked. This happned in the school year 2007-2008 and ever since then, she has not had to go home because of the pain. One thing that she said really hit everyone hard. She said "Maybe He is not giving me the wrong answer, maybe I am asking the wrong question." That is my new favorite quote.

In Acts 3: 12 it says:
12 ¶ And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?

Peter was very humble about the whole healing thing. He said that he did not do it, the power of God did, Peter just helped.

In Acts 3: 16 it says:
16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

In Acts 3: 19 it says:
19 ¶ Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

What is the most important commandment?

President Harold B. Lee said:"The most important commandment is the one you have difficuly keeping today."...make today the beginning of a change in your life. Turn from the thing that you have been doing wrong."...today is the day for you to work on that until you have been able to conquer that weakness."

List the most important commandment and list the blessing of keeping that commandment.

In D&C 66:3 it says:
3 Verily I say unto you, my servant William, that you are clean, but not all; repent, therefore, of those things which are not pleasing in my sight, saith the Lord, for the Lord will show them unto you.

Cirlce the name William and replace it with your own.

If Christ was with you everyday what would you change? They don't have to be HUGE things, they can be but you can also change small and simple things that you probaly don't think twice about. Maybe be more polite. Don't inturupt, say thank you, please, excuse me, etc... Maybe at lunch sit with someone who is lonely, someone who is all alone, and talk with them.
