  ???Certainly, we live in a time during which things are in commotion. Many
  people fear the future, and many hearts have turned away from their faith in
  God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
  ....
  Each night when I pray, I ask the Lord to bless all who are burdened with
  grief, pain, loneliness, and sadness. I know that other Church leaders echo
  that same prayer. Our hearts, individually and collectively, go out to you,
  and our prayers go to God in your behalf.
  ....
  Today I expand my call for prayer to all people from every country around the
  world. No matter how you pray or to whom you pray, please exercise your
  fait__whatever your faith may b__and pray for your country and for your
  national leaders. As I said last October in Massachusetts, we stand today at a
  major crossroads in history, and the nations of the earth are in desperate
  need of divine inspiration and guidance. This is not about politics or policy.
  This is about peace and the healing that can come to individual souls as well
  as to the soul of countries--their cities, towns, and villages--through the
  Prince of Peace and the source of all healing, the Lord Jesus Christ.
  ....
  During the past few months I have had the impression come to me that the best
  way to help the current world situation is for all people to rely more fully
  upon God and to turn their hearts to Him through sincere prayer. Humbling
  ourselves and seeking heaven_s inspiration to endure or conquer what is before
  us will be our safest and surest way to move confidently forward through these
  troubling times.

  "'A new movement': Pray for the country, its leaders, church official
  urges Latter-day Saints 
  By Sarah Jane Weaver Oct 20, 2019, 8:41pm MDT, WORCESTER, Mass.  
  -- 
  [....]
  President M. Russell Ballard urged [Church] members
  ... to "join a new movement" by inviting their neighbors, colleagues and
  friends ... to pray for the United States, its leaders and its families.  
  "Our nation was founded on prayer, it was preserved by prayer and we need prayer 
  again," said the [apostle].  "I plead with you this evening to pray for this
  country, for our leaders, for our people and for the families that live
  in this great nation founded by God." "...This country was established
  and preserved by our founding fathers and mothers, who repeatedly
  acknowledged the hand of God through prayer."
  ....
  "We must stand boldly for righteousness and truth and must defend the
  cause of honor, decency and personal freedom espoused by Washington,
  Madison, Adams, Lincoln and other leaders who acknowledged and loved
  God."
