Go. And do.

'Pray always lest that wicked one have power in you, and remove you out of your place.' D&C 93: 49
Have power IN you? Interesting. I feel like we normally say satan may have power OVER us... But really he doesnt have power over us without our consent. Correct? How about: if we stop praying (are not praying always, or have the Spirit with us always, or have our hearts turned to Jesus Christ always), he will most definitely take advantage of that opportunity and will be WITHIN ME, within my thoughts, in my feelings even. So often, when we are in our carnal or worldly state, we disregard thoughts not as satan but as our own. We try to give them that validation. This too, is the workings of satan..
And what does it mean to 'remove you out of your place'? I thought of how often we hear 'stand ye in holy places'. I think this means more than just where you physically stand. Could it not include your attitude? Your state of mind? Where your words and actions stand?
Perhaps to be removed from your place may mean that you will be taken away from the Spirit, away from 'holy places', away from the temple, away from good healthy thoughts, away from joy.

I have really been pondering the past two weeks or so what it means to pray always, lest satan has power over us. And ive really been trying to make my lil human effort to apply it.

And i do feel blessed for it.
It is really kind of scary when we realize how well satan knows us, how hard he works, how closely and quickly he rushes to destroy us, and how truly sly he is.
May we always remember this.
May we prayerfully understand how to protect ourselves from this.

God, in the Garden of Eden, granted Adam and Eve (and you and i) power over Satan. That he may be able to tempt us and bruise us, but we have ultimate power over him to crush him.
Remember, remember this power!!
You are powerful!

Go and do.
