And reeled 'em in. 
...I have no idea what this is about.
But perhaps the person was having an orgasmic religious experience, in which case they meant to say "sated by his very presence" rather than "baited". 
In her blog, this Christian spells it b-a-i-t-e-d:

Excerpt:
I spent the weekend with my amazing friends, and God just totally rocked my world. I was once again reminded of how far He has brought me in such a short amount of time. I am totally fascinated by how He has orchestrated each and every step to get me to where He wants me in every area of my life. Like it BLOWS MY MIND.
And because of this mind blowing, world rocking weekend- I have somehow ceased to function. But in a good way. It is like God has brought me into a place of…..breathing. A place of being more present. My ‘to do’ list stopped flashing before my eyes at night, and has been replaced with thoughts of His grace. My extra minutes were not spent pouring over countless emails but instead were spent reading. I want worship music playing in the background of my day, instead of the latest photography podcast. I became less interested in off-camera lighting and more interested in discerning His voice.
It’s as if God has urged me to stop. And breathe. No like REALLY breathe. Ever feel that way? Where you just hit the ground running and forget to stop and remember what’s most important in your life?
The funny thing is how He has done it. There was no business crisis or technology breakdown. He simply baited me with His wonderful presence this weekend, and now it’s all I can think about.

Bated or baited, it makes no sense.
