Satan's power

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). And Nephi states that 'he hath no power over the hearts' of people who are righteous (1 Ne. 22:26).
