Be Flexible
Often the best teaching moments are unexpected—for example, when someone shares an experience or asks a question that leads to a meaningful discussion. Allow time for such moments. Listen for promptings—both as you plan and as you teach—and be willing to change your plans if necessary to follow the promptings you receive. If you are spiritually prepared, the Lord can give you “in the very moment, what ye shall say” (D&C 100:6). Remember that it is more important to follow the impressions of the Spirit than to cover a certain amount of material.
Questions to ponder. When have I felt the Spirit guiding me as a teacher? What can I do to receive His guidance more often?
Scriptural example. As I read 3 Nephi 17:1–9, what do I learn from the Savior’s example as He responded to the needs of those He taught?
