David fasted and prayed in sackcloth and ashes for the life of his child. God did not answer affirmatively. He was repentant. He did the thing: body talk, body plea, body grief, body contact, body hope. It didn't work.

What do we do when we have the grievous sacred moment and we respond to the moment God's way (fasting) but the thing we are hoping for (healing) doesn't come?
