A young woman who knows and loves the Book of Mormon, who has read it several times, who has an abiding testimony of its truthfulness, and who applies its teachings will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil and will be a mighty tool in the hands of the Lord.

Some of the greatest battles will be fought within the silent chambers of your own soul.

Our enemy, the devil, wants to control us, and his target is our will. The main way he tries to influence our will is through lying to us.

Because my dad abused me, I was determined to never let a man tell me what to do. God clearly showed me that I needed to be a submissive wife if I wanted to be effective in ministry. The truth is, if we don't learn to submit to authority, we won't ever learn to submit to God.

Willpower is trying very hard not to do something you want to do very much.

Every time we sin in thought, word, or deed, we're essentially saying in that moment that, "I don't need you God. I don't want you God. I like my way better than your way."

There is no moment that isn't equivalent in value to any other moment. You have to surrender the little mind to the big mind, and turn what you want over to God.

If you want to determine if your thoughts are from the enemy or from God, ask yourself, 'Are these thoughts I'd choose to have?

How you respond to the enemy of your soul determines whether his plan for your life or God's plan for your life is realized.

Mood's a thing for cattle or for making love. You fight when the necessity arises, no matter your mood.

Evil has insinuated itself into our very souls and rules over us from the very citadel erected to guard us against it.

Turn on the full powers of your will and take complete control of your own mind. It is your own mind! It was given to you as a servant to carry out your desires. And no one may enter it or influence it in the slightest degree without your consent and cooperation. What a profound fact this is!
