Satan Seeks Control- Choose the Light

Satan seeks to control
Our minds and actions
To confuse our role
And create distractions

But safety is assured
As we remember who we are
God's children! Precious beyond measure!

We have what we need to take us far!

Happiness is found
When we do not despair
But let the spirit abound
Holding to the rod with care

Counsel to Youth
President Boyd K. Packer
Ensign November 2011

"You are precious beyond measure....
We know from the scriptures that there was a war in heaven and that Lucifer rebelled and, with his followers, “was cast out into the earth.”2 He is determined to disrupt our Heavenly Father’s plan and seeks to control the minds and actions of all. This influence is spiritual, and he “is abroad in the land.”3

"But despite the opposition, trials, and temptations, you need not fail or fear."
