Hold to the Rod
Hold to the Rod
And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit. And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit cometh unto God, even the Father. D&C 84:46-47
The PoWeR Award
Prayer,
Writing, and
Reading Scriptures
The real desire of this goal is that you will develop a lifelong habit of reaching to God through daily communication. Taking time to pray each morning and evening, to express your thoughts in writing in your prayer journal, and reading from the scriptures will provide a strength in your life that cannot be described.
The goal is for you to do these three things for 180 days. Every day that you complete a perfect PWR day, mark off a box. If you miss a day, don’t skip a box, just mark the very next box the next day that you read. There is a 60 Day award, a 120 Day award, a 180 Day award, a 240 Day award, and (if you only miss 4 or less days between March 1st and February 28th of the next year) a 300 Day award. The 180 Day award is required to earn the Yearly Pebbles Award.

A Word About Setting Goals
Goal setters are the movers and shakers in life. They are the ones who are continually working to use the gifts that God has entrusted to them for the building up of His kingdom on this earth. They are the ones who are busily improving the world around them and constantly blessing and influencing the lives of others. If you can learn to 1)
Hear the voice of heaven in setting your goals and 2) draw on the powers of heaven in accomplishing them, you will truly be the woman of influence you were born to become.
Each of the Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire awards are earned through goal setting. Each goal has been given a description of its focus and has several examples listed, but we want these goals to be your goals. That is not to say that you may not choose one of our examples – the important thing is that you are moved upon by the Spirit when you decide upon it. We hope that we have set up the goal setting pages in the guide book in a way that will walk you through the process successfully.
