Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. - Matt. 26:41

"As spirit children of our Heavenly Father, we should seek always to recognize the divine potential within us and never restrict our perspective to the limited scope of mortal life," Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin of the Council of the Twelve admonished at the April 1992 general conference.". . . Surely we live in troubled times, but we can seek and obtain the good despite Satan's temptations and snares. He cannot tempt us beyond our power to resist. (See 1 Cor. 10:13.) When we seek `anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy,' we are seeking to emulate the Savior and follow His teachings. Then we are on the path that can lead us to eternal life."
