2026 August Come Follow Me Primary Talks
Week #1 July 27- August 2: Ezra 1; 3-7; Nehemiah 2; 4-6; 8
Junior- When Ezra read the scriptures, the people listened and felt happy. The scriptures teach me about Jesus. When I read them or hear them in Primary or at home, I feel peaceful and loved. I know the scriptures are a blessing from Heavenly Father. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Senior- In Nehemiah 8, Ezra read the scriptures to the people. When they heard God’s word, they stood up, listened carefully, showed reverence, and even felt joy. The scriptures helped them understand the Lord’s commandments and reminded them of His love. Nehemiah 8:8 says that Ezra helped the people understand the scriptures. That teaches us that the Lord wants us not just to read His words but also to understand them. We can use study helps in the scriptures, look up words, ask questions, and pray for help. When we do, the Holy Ghost teaches us and helps the scriptures come alive. The scriptures bless us with guidance, peace, answers to prayers, and a stronger testimony of Jesus Christ. Every time we read, we learn something new about the Savior and feel closer to Him. I know the scriptures are a gift from Heavenly Father, and they bless our lives when we read them with real intent and open hearts. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Week #2 August 3-9: Esther
Junior- Esther and the Jews needed help, so they fasted and prayed. Heavenly Father listened and blessed them. When we fast and pray, Heavenly Father helps us, too. Fasting helps us feel close to Him. I know fasting brings blessings. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Senior- In the book of Esther, the Jews were in danger, and Esther needed the Lord’s help to save her people. Before she went to the king, she asked all the Jews to fast and pray with her for three days. They fasted because they needed courage, protection, and blessings from Heavenly Father. And the Lord helped them in a powerful way. Fasting is a special way we show the Lord that we need His help. When we fast, we go without food and water for a time, and we pray with faith. Fasting helps us feel closer to Heavenly Father, receive answers to prayers, and get strength to do hard things, just like Esther did. We can fast for comfort, for someone who is sick, for guidance, or for our own challenges. When we fast with a purpose, Heavenly Father blesses us. I know that fasting brings the Lord’s power into our lives and helps us feel His love. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Week #3 August 10-16: Job 1-3; 12-14; 19; 21-24; 38-40; 42
Junior- Job was sad, and his friends didn’t use kind words. Job said a good friend should help and comfort others. We can be good friends by saying nice things, helping, sharing, and being kind. Jesus is our best friend, and He wants us to be loving too. I know I can be a kind friend like Jesus. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Senior- In the book of Job, Job was going through very hard trials. Instead of comforting him, his friends told him he must have sinned and that God was punishing him (Job 22:5). These words hurt Job and didn’t help him feel better. Job said that if he were a friend, he would try to “strengthen” others and “comfort” them with his words (Job 16:5). That teaches us what a good friend does. They lift, encourage, support, and love. When someone is sad or having a hard day, our words matter. A kind message, a smile, a soft voice, or a simple “I’m here for you” can mean so much. Good friends don’t judge; they help. Jesus Christ is the perfect example of a true friend. He comforts us, listens to us, forgives us, and helps us feel peace when life is hard. We can be like Him by looking for people who might need love or encouragement. I know that when we try to be Christlike friends, we help others feel the Savior’s love. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Week #4 August 17-23: Psalms 1-2; 8; 19-33; 40; 46
Junior- Psalm 24 says that to go to the temple, we need clean hands and a pure heart. We clean our hands with soap and water. Jesus helps clean our hearts when we say sorry, choose the right, and try to be like Him. When we are kind and obedient, we are getting ready to go to the temple someday. I know Jesus helps me be clean and happy. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Senior- Psalms 24 asks an important question: “Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? … He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart.” This teaches us that to enter the temple, we need to be spiritually clean. We know how our hands get dirty, we touch things, play outside, or forget to wash them. And we know how to clean them: we wash them with soap and water. Just like our hands can get dirty, our spirits can get dirty, too. When we make mistakes, use unkind words, disobey, or make wrong choices. But Jesus Christ made it possible for us to be spiritually clean again. Through repentance, prayer, and trying our best to follow Him, He washes our hearts clean. When we keep the commandments, choose the right, and follow Jesus, our hearts stay pure. These choices prepare us to enter the temple and feel the peace that comes from being close to Heavenly Father. I know that Jesus Christ helps us become clean so we can enjoy the blessings of the temple. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Week #5 August 24-30: Psalms 49-51; 61-66; 69-72; 77-78; 85-86
Junior- Psalm 71:8 teaches us to use our mouths to praise Jesus. We can tell people that Jesus loves us, helps us, and wants us to choose the right. When we talk about Jesus, we make others happy. I know I can share my faith in Jesus Christ with others. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Senior- Psalm 71:8 says, “Let my mouth be filled with thy praise.” That means we can use our words to talk about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. There are so many wonderful things we can share about the Savior: His kindness, His miracles, His scriptures, His example, and His love for every person. When we talk about Jesus, we help other people feel His light. We can tell others about Jesus by being kind, answering questions, sharing our testimonies, or inviting friends to Primary activities. Even small words like “Jesus loves you” or “I know Heavenly Father hears prayers” can bless someone’s life. I know Jesus Christ wants us to share His love with others, and when we do, we feel His Spirit with us. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Holy places can be places like the temple, church, or even our homes when we pray or read scriptures. Holy thoughts come when we think about Jesus and try to be kind and forgiving.

Senior– In Doctrine and Covenants 88:63, He says, “Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently, and ye shall find me.” If we try to follow Him, we can feel His love and guidance in our lives. Seeking Jesus means praying, reading the scriptures, and learning about Him at church. It also means trying to be kind, honest, and forgiving like He taught us. When we do these things, we feel closer to Him and can see His blessings in our lives. I know that when we seek the Savior, we will find Him. He loves us and wants to help us every day. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Week #4- August 18-24 “A Principle with Promise”
Junior– Heavenly Father gave us the Word of Wisdom to help us be healthy and strong. In Doctrine and Covenants 89, it says our bodies are like temples, and we need to take care of them. The Word of Wisdom tells us to eat good foods like fruits and vegetables. It warns us not to use things that can harm our bodies. We can decide now to follow the Word of Wisdom and say, “No, thank you,” if someone offers us something bad. When we follow it, it makes Heavenly Father happy and he blesses me. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Senior– Heavenly Father gave us the Word of Wisdom to help us be healthy and strong. In Doctrine and Covenants 89, the Lord teaches us how to care for our bodies and spirits. He says our bodies are like temples, and we need to take care of them. The Word of Wisdom tells us to eat good foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. It also warns us not to use things like alcohol, tobacco, or drugs that can harm our bodies. Heavenly Father wants us to be strong and healthy so we can do His work. We should decide now to live the Word of Wisdom. If someone offers us something against the Word of Wisdom, we can say, “No, thank you.” Heavenly Father promises to bless us when we live the Word of Wisdom. I’m thankful for the Word of Wisdom and for Heavenly Father’s love for us. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Week #5- August 25-31 “Receive of His Fulness”
Junior– We lived with Heavenly Father before we were born. In Doctrine and Covenants 93:29, it says, “Man was also in the beginning with God.” This means we were spirits living with Him. Heavenly Father sent us to earth to get bodies, make choices, and follow Jesus. I’m thankful Heavenly Father sent us to earth to learn and grow. I know He loves us and wants us to return to Him.

Heavenly Father loves us, and He sent us to earth to learn and grow. We came here to Earth to get bodies, make choices, and follow Jesus Christ. We can remember that we lived with God before we came to Earth when we sing songs like “I Am a Child of God” or “I Lived in Heaven.” These songs remind us of our purpose and that Heavenly Father has a plan for us. I’m thankful that Heavenly Father sent us to earth to learn and follow Him. I know He loves us and wants us to return to Him someday. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

2024 August Come Follow Me Primary Talks
Week #1- “By small and simple things are great things brought to pass.”
Junior– Small acts of kindness make my family happy. When I am nice to my family, there is more love in my home. When I help with the chores, my mom and dad are happy. When I share with my brother or sister, I help to make my home a happy place. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Senior– I can make small, daily choices that will strengthen my faith and my testimony. These small choices can lead me to more joy in my life. Some of the small, daily choices that I make every day are to say my prayers, read the scriptures, and be kind to others. I know that every choice has consequences, good or bad. This means that every time I choose the right, I will grow, and good things can happen. President Dallin H. Oaks said, “Each of these small and simple things invites the companionship of the Holy Ghost, the Testifier who enlightens us and guides us into truth.” As Alma says in Alma 87:6, “By small and simple things are great things brought to pass.” I know that if I continue to choose the right and be obedient, I will be blessed. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Week #2- My good example can lead others to Christ.
Junior– I want to be like Jesus. When I follow Jesus’ example, I will be obedient and choose the right. I will be happy as I make good choices. My family and friends may want to make good choices so they can be happy, too. I know that my good example can help lead others to Jesus. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Senior– I can be a good example to my friends. I know that, even when others are making bad choices, I can always make the choice to do what’s right. If someone is being bullied, I can stick up for them. If someone is sad and alone, I can be a friend. If someone needs my help, I can help them. I will try to be brave and always choose the right. I know that when I follow Jesus’ example of love and kindness, others can be inspired to do so, too. My example can lead others to follow Christ. Matthew 5:16 reads, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I want to let my let shine so that others may want to come to Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Week #3- I can find spiritual protection in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Junior– I feel safe when I hold my mommy’s hand to cross the street. I know that she will protect me. Jesus Christ also wants to protect me. He protects me by teaching me how to live so I can be happy and live with Him again someday. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Senior– Just as Moroni prepared the Nephite soldiers with armor that protected them from the Lamanites, I can use the gospel of Jesus Christ as a protection for spiritual battles in my life. I can put on the “armor” by saying daily prayers, reading my scriptures, being obedient, being repentant, and learning from modern-day prophets and apostles. As I do these things, I will be blessed with greater access to the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost will guide me in my decisions and protect me from danger. The Holy Ghost will speak truth to my heart and protect me from Satan’s deceptions. Elder James E. Faust once said, “The Holy Ghost is the greatest guarantor of inward peace in our unstable world.” I know that I can continue to feel the peace and protection of the gospel of Jesus Christ as I make choices that keep me close to the Holy Ghost. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Week #4- I can be faithful to God like Helaman’s young soldiers.
Junior– The army of Helaman had 2000 young soldiers. They had never fought before. But they were faithful, kept the commandments, and trusted God. Because of their faith, they were protected and won the battle. I want to be faithful like the army of Helaman. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Senior– When life is hard, and we are struggling with feeling sad or upset, we may wonder if we have what it takes to get through tough times. The army of Helaman consisted of 2000 young soldiers who had never been in a battle. But they were faithful that God would protect them. Their faith is what protected them. Their story is a great example of why it is important to have faith in the Lord that He will always be there for us. When we are feeling sad or upset about something, we can remind ourselves that we can be faithful like Helaman’s young soldiers. We can remember the things our own mothers have taught us about how much the Lord loves us. When I am faithful that the Lord will protect me, I can be as brave as they were. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
