The question for the lesson this week is “How can I strengthen my testimony?” and begins with the following thought:
A testimony is a spiritual witness of the truth given by the Holy Ghost. As members of the Church, we have sacred opportunity and responsibility to obtain our own testimonies. If we seek a testimony through study, prayer, and living the gospel, the Holy Ghost will help us know for ourselves that the gospel is true.
The scriptures for the lesson include the following:
John 7:16–17 (If we do the Lord’s will, we will gain a testimony)
1 Corinthians 2:9–13; Alma 5:45–46; D&C 8:2–3 (The Holy Ghost testifies of truth)
James 1:5; 1 Nephi 10:17–19; 15:11; 3 Nephi 18:20; Moroni 10:3–5 (To obtain a testimony, we must ask and seek for one)
Mosiah 26:3; Alma 12:11 (Obstacles to obtaining a testimony)
D&C 9:7–9 (We must study for ourselves before we ask)
The talk “Can Ye Feel So Now?” by Elder Quentin L. Cook is also suggested:
