Book of Mormon: Gospel Doctrine Teacher’s Manual, (1999),
61–65
Reading 1 – Enos 1:1-2
Reading 2 - President Harold B. Lee said: “If the time comes
when you have done all that you can to repent of your sins … and have made
amends and restitution to the best of your ability … , then you will want that
confirming answer as to whether or not the Lord has accepted of you. In your
soul-searching, if you seek for and you find that peace of conscience, by that
token you may know that the Lord has accepted of your repentance” (Stand Ye in
Holy Places [1974], 185).
Reading 3 – The Book of Mormon Student Manual says: "The
wrestle Enos had before God was with himself. Sometimes the greatest effort is
put forth when a person contends with himself before the Lord. Such wrestling
is the struggle to find and express one's real desires which are sometimes
hidden behind sin, evasion, and cover-up. Wrestling with oneself involves deep
thought, meditation, and concentration. It means going beyond the cliché level
of prayer to the point that one truly pours his soul into words and offers them
to God. Repetitions cease to be vain, trite, or unfelt. Instead, each phrase is
an expression of a yearning desire to do God's will. Such prayers are assisted
and guided by the Holy Spirit, 'for we know not what we should pray for as we
ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which
cannot be uttered' (Romans 8:26)." (Religion 121-122, Book of Mormon
Student Manual, p55)
Reading 4 – Enos 1:3-8
Reading 5 – Elder Boyd K. Packer said: “Sometimes you may
struggle with a problem and not get an answer. What could be wrong?
It may be that you are not doing anything wrong. It may be
that you have not done the right things long enough. Remember, you cannot force
spiritual things.
Sometimes we are confused simply because we won’t take no
for an answer. (Ensign, November 1979, p. 21.)
