From the dedicatory prayer for the Ogden Utah Temple:
“O Father, hasten the day when righteousness shall prevail; when the rulers of nations shall open their borders to the preaching of the gospel; when the door of salvation shall swing wide open for the honest and upright and good among every people.
“We pray for the spread of truth; we pray for the missionary cause; we seek strength and numbers and means to proclaim thy everlasting truths to more of thy other children in every nation, among every kindred, and speaking every tongue. …
“… It is our desire to be instruments in thy hands to prepare a people for the coming of thy Son” (Teachings of Presidents of Church: Joseph Fielding Smith, p. 329).
