This week’s Come Follow Me: February 2–8. “The Lord Called His People Zion”: Moses 7

A thought (or two):
Almost 6 months ago, one of the narrators for my audiobooks messaged me and asked me to pray for her husband. He had been diagnosed with an incurable form of cancer. It is treatable, but he will live with it for the rest of his life. She asked me to pray for him, even though she is a devout Catholic (and she knows I am a Latter-day Saint), because, she said, “I’ve read your books, and I know God hears your prayers.” So, I have. I pray for him and for her and her family every single time I pray for anything. I asked her if I could put their names on the prayer roll at the temple. She gratefully said, “Yes, please,” and provided me with the names of everyone in her whole family, because this is a trial for all of them. I’ve done that consistently, at least every two weeks. I also committed to fasting each Sunday for the duration and dedicating that fast, in part, at least, to her and her husband and family. (See: I actually AM getting around to talking about today’s sacrament meeting theme.) I have kept that commitment. My family has also dedicated their monthly fasting (at least, in part) to them as well.
This week, after nearly six months of her husband enduring grueling chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgical procedures, and painful chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, she told me that there were no cancer markers in his latest blood sample. That doesn’t mean he is cured, but it does mean that his cancer is in temporary remission, and the doctors can now begin the process of transplanting and rebuilding his bone marrow. This is wonderful news indeed!
Each week, lately, I’ve been asking her if she wanted me to focus my prayers and fasting on anything in particular. She has in the past mentioned things like courage, endurance, acceptance, relief from pain, etc. But yesterday, she said simply, “Thanksgiving.”
I have never thought about fasting for thanksgiving, i.e., gratitude. But today, I am fasting for gratitude (amid a host of other things), especially in regards to her and her family.
And I am grateful for the Law of the Fast.
