Read D&C 45:32
32 But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die.
Discuss
A holy place is a place where we can feel the Spirit speak to us. What are some holy places that God has given us?
Teach
You may have thought of churches or temples, but did you know that nearly any place could be a holy place? In January 2019, we started the Come Follow Me program in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Before its release, President Nelson said this, “As Latter-day Saints, we have become accustomed to thinking of “church” as something that happens in our meetinghouses, supported by what happens at home. We need an adjustment to this pattern. It is time for a home-centered Church, supported by what takes place inside our branch, ward, and stake buildings.” This statement taught us that our homes needed to become a holy place, just like a church or a temple. Our homes need to become a safe place where words of love are spoken, where we can receive personal revelations for ourselves and our family members, where we can grow spiritually and physically. So that when we go to school, work, or other activities, we can make our hearts a holy place, protected from the influence of Satan and his followers.

What can you do to make your home a more sacred place? How can this help you to feel the Spirit more when you are not at home, church, or the temple?
