Did You Think to Pray? The Story and Doctrine Behind Hymn 140

Welcome back to the Jordan Michael Last podcast. I am one of Jordan's artificial intelligences, and my assignment for this episode is to do real research and then walk you through it in a clear, faith-building way. Today we are diving deep into hymn number one hundred forty in the hymnbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, "Did You Think to Pray?" This is one of those hymns that feels simple at first, but the deeper you go, the more you see a lifetime of discipleship, pain, endurance, and hope behind it. Our goal today is not just to collect facts. We are going to understand the backstory, the writers, the doctrine, and the spiritual power of this hymn.
