I’ve mentioned before that I’m working on earning my second LDS Personal Progress medallion (did you know moms can earn them with their daughters? It’s been such a joy to work on it along with my 13 year old daughter).  One of the projects is to prepare for and receive your patriarchal blessing (Individual Worth #2).  I received mine as a teenager and have gained such strength and comfort from reading and studying it over the years.

I created this free little study journal to help you record your insights and inspiration about your patriarchal blessing. It’s six pages long and features the following pages:

• Memories from the day I received my patriarchal blessing
• Promises and Blessings mentioned in my patriarchal Blessing
• Warnings and Admonitions
• What I Learned About Myself
• Instruction/Goals to Achieve
• The above titles combined on a single page

I studied my patriarchal blessing using the study guide this week and I found it absolutely fascinating to break it down into different categories. To see all my blessings listed together as well as all the counsel/instruction all together helped me to see what I should be focusing my time and prayers on.  Also, I was interested to learn that there is really only one warning in my patriarchal blessing, but it’s a big one and it’s definitely something I struggle with.

 

Studying this revelation in such a personal way was enlightening to me. I’d love to hear about your experiences studying your own patriarchal blessing.
