Second Nephi 1:25

And I exceedingly fear and tremble because of you, lest he shall suffer again; for behold, ye have accused him that he sought power and authority over you; but I know that he hath not sought for power nor authority over you, but he hath sought the glory of God, and your own eternal welfare.

The righteous exercise of priesthood authority is always to glorify God and serve others. The righteous seeking of power is to enable us to serve better.  When that is our motivation,  God is pleased with us and will grant us all the power we can safely use.
