First, Pray to Know Who Needs Your Help

We interact with people every day. Family, friends, co-workers, ward members. God knows who is in our lives  and why. Begin each day by praying to know who needs your help. Opportunities are likely already in your path. By praying to know who you can serve, God will open your eyes to those who need you specifically.

Second, Pray to Know What That Person Needs

Once you know who needs your help, pray to know what they need. Sometimes, ministering to others is hard because we don’t know what to do. Luckily, God knows the deepest needs and desires of our hearts. We can receive inspiration on things to do and say. Our service will become more sincere and we will grow to trust God’s promptings.

Third, Reach Out to Someone on Social Media

Ministering is about genuinely becoming a part of someone’s life. Social media is an easy way to reach out to someone, especially someone who is far away. Go through your friend’s list and send a message to someone you haven’t talked to in a while. Start a conversation about their life.

Fourth, Study How the Savior Served

Jesus Christ not only loved everyone, but he served everyone. Learn more about his perfect example. Read through the scriptures and study what Christ did for others and how he did it. Create a few goals based on what you read.

Fifth, Practice Asking Active Listening

Listening is an important skill that allows us to connect more deeply with the people around us. Active listening requires that we truly listen to others, ask questions about what they said, and avoid dominating the conversation with our own opinions and comments. Try active listening in your everyday conversations. We will be surprised at how much more willing others will be to share about what they are going through in their life.

The Orem Utah Hillcrest Stake of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is comprised of six English-speaking wards (congregations), one Spanish-speaking ward, two single adult wards, and a care center branch.

Church is a refuge from the chaos of everyday life. Attending services and activities gives us time to worship God and associate with others who are trying to be better and live more like Jesus did.

No matter where you are in life, you belong and are needed in His Church. Won’t you please join us?
