“When temptation comes, you can invent a delete key in your mind- perhaps the words from a favorite hymn. Your mind is in charge; your body is the instrument of your mind. When some unworthy thought pushes into your mind, replace it with your delete key. Worthy music is powerful and can help you control your thoughts.” MindHelpingBodyPowerfulKeysMusic IsInstrumentsWorthyYour BodyTemptationUnworthyHymns Author:Boyd K. Packer
“Learn to pray. Pray often. Pray in your mind, in your heart. Pray on your knees. Prayer is your personal key to heaven. The lock is on your side of the veil.

“The first gift that Adam and Eve received was agency: ‘Thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee’ (Moses 3:17). You have that same agency. Use it wisely to deny acting on any impure impulse or unholy temptation that may come into your mind. Just do not go there, and if you are already there, come back out of it. ‘Deny yourselves of all ungodliness’ (Moroni 10:32).” IfsMindFirstsMayUseGivenActingDenyTemptationTheeImpulseAgencyAdamThyselfMosesAdam And Eve Author:Boyd K.

“One thing is very clear: the safest place and the best protection against the moral and spiritual diseases is a stable home and family. This has always been true; it will be true forever. We must keep that foremost in our minds. The scriptures speak of 'the shield of faith wherewith,' the Lord said, 'ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked' (D&C 27:17). This shield of faith is best fabricated in a cottage industry. While the shield can be polished in classes in the Church and in activities, it is meant to be handcrafted in the home and fitted to each individual.” MindSaidHomeAbleSpiritualIndividualSpeakChurchMoralLordClassForeverClearOne ThingIndustryActivityDiseaseProtectionScriptureBeing TrueWickedMeant To BeStableShieldsPolishedFieryCottagesQuenchDartsHome And FamilyHandcrafted Author:Boyd K.

“An organist who has the sensitivity to quietly play prelude music from the hymnbook tempers our feelings and causes us to go over in our minds the lyrics which teach the peaceable things of the kingdom.
