Elko Nevada Temple Dedicatory Prayer

Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles dedicated the Elko Nevada Temple on Sunday, October.

O God, our Eternal Father, we come before Thee with bowed heads as a token our humility and pray in the name of Thy beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

According to Elder Stevenson, the temple is to be "a symbol of light and peace, and a strength for all eyes that fall upon it."

The dedicatory prayer expresses gratitude for the temple, stating: "Our hearts are full of gratitude for this, Thy holy house, on this historic day of its dedication in this remote part of Thy vineyard."

The prayer also acknowledges the sacrifices of Latter-day Saints, saying: "We are most grateful for the resources with which we have been blessed, deriving from the sacrifice of Latter-day Saints everywhere, of their sacred tithes, allowing the construction of this house of the Lord."
