Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God.
Helaman 3:35
On this day of fasting, we
ask in all humility
for thy gracious kindly aid
as through sorrow we do wade.
Earth is wracked with new disease;
nothing will it much appease.
Master of all life and death,
we need both bread and daily breath.
Our hearts we yield in fasting to
whatever thou shall say and do.
Have mercy, Lord; stretch out thy palm
to rescue us with healing balm!
