Seeking Souls

The counterfeit fisherman
Uses artificial lures
Craftily to hook each man
To what spiritually injures

To seal us his, he lies in wait
Knowing exactly where we're weak
Then creating the perfect bait
That blinds us to think it's what we seek

Feeling pleasure instead of pain
The addiction starts
As he takes hold of the brain
And hardens up our hearts

He'll not tire, nor let go
But cleverly attack
For as resistance starts to show
He entices to call us back

Yet there is hope, there is a way
To get the hook removed
If we seek in faith to pray
There's a narrow pass to move

Fervent prayer is the key
To finding peace to overcome
As from pride one does plea
The fight of addiction can be won

Humbly search on your knees
And surrender to Jesus Christ
This fisherman knows all your needs
And has paid salvation's price

quote from Elder Ballard's talk: O That Cunning Plan of the Evil One...
'I add my voice today to the voices of my Brethren that Lucifer is a clever and cunning intelligence. One of the main methods he uses against us is his ability to lie and deceive to convince us that evil is good and good is evil. Right from the very beginning in the great Council in Heaven, Satan “sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him. …
“And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will” (Moses 4:3–4).

'To those who are dealing with an addiction personally or within your family, I repeat, fervent prayer is key to gaining the spiritual strength to find peace and overcome an addictive craving. Heavenly Father loves all of His children, so thank Him and express sincere faith in Him. Ask Him for the strength to overcome the addiction you are experiencing. Set aside all pride and turn your life and your heart to Him. Ask to be filled with the power of Christ’s pure love. You may have to do this many times, but I testify to you that your body, mind, and spirit can be transformed, cleansed, and made whole, and you will be freed. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12).'
