Satan Cannot Know our Thoughts
President James E. Faust


 
We need not become paralyzed with fear of Satan's power. He can have no power over us unless we permit it. He is really a coward, and if we stand firm, he will retreat. The Apostle James counseled: "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). He cannot know our thoughts unless we speak them. And Nephi states that "he hath no power over the hearts" of people who are righteous (see 1 Nephi 22:26).
