Temptation Fades as We Seek Christ in Every Thought

Yielding to temptation is like a magnet approaching a metal object, says Elder Ulisses Soares. As it draws closer, the magnet’s invisible force attracts the metal object and holds it tightly but loses power over the object when it is placed outside its power to attract.

“As we resist temptation, it fades away and loses its power over our mind and heart and, consequently, over our actions,” he says during his October 2020 general conference address.

“Seeking Christ in every thought and following Him with all our heart” weakens the attraction of temptation. This “requires that we align our mind and desires with His,” Elder Soares says.

Seeking Christ in every thought and following Him with all our heart “gives us the promise that we can walk in His light and that His guidance prevents the influence of darkness in our life,” he declares.
