This was an old assignment for Teachings of the Living Prophets which I took during the summer break. Brother Seedall put the question "Why Do You Need A Prophet?" up on the board and we had to write why we thought we needed it. Mine wasn't quite as eloquent or awesome as everyone else's. I stumbled upon it again this weekend when I grabbed a random notebook to bring on the SA retreat.
Why I Need a Prophet
I need a prophet because I need help getting closer to Heavenly Father. I need a prophet because I need an anchor, a rock in this world. I need a prophet because I need to be told I am loved and cherished not only by the prophet, but by Heavenly Father and Christ. I need a prophet because I need the priesthood. I need blessings and sacrament and baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost and temples. I need a prophet because I need revelations and new scriptures to help me get back to Heavenly Father. I need a prophet so that I know I'm not alone.
