"Have mercy, O Lord, upon all the nations of the earth; have mercy upon the rulers of our land; may those principles, which were so honorably and nobly defended, namely, the Constitution of our land, by our fathers, be established forever." (Doctrine & Covenants 109:54)
"And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I [the Lord] raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood." (Doctrine & Covenants 101:80)
"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty." 1 Timothy 2:1-2
