Today’s Prayer (10/18/2021)

Oh Lord, I am thankful that in such a dark world, I have your light surrounding me. Although life can be very hard and full of pain and regret, You have given me answers that I’ve needed to go forward in faith. Even when times have been very hard, You have given me the strength to bear every burden. I am so grateful for Your presence in my life, though I don’t always deserve it. Thank You for Your forgiveness and mercy. I pray that You will keep me on the straight and narrow path which leads to heaven. Right now I am sick because of the flu and I pray that You will heal me from my sickness. Lord, even my family is stricken with the same illness and I pray that You will heal each one of us. Reading about the fall of Adam and Eve helps me to understand why these consequences of sickness and death have come into the world. All I know is that things are better when the Holy Spirit is in my life, God. We can try to live this life on our own, but we will continue to fall flat on our faces each time because of sin. But I do not wish to be wrapped up any longer in any type of sin, where I transgress willfully against the God I love. Therefore, equip me with the sword of the Spirit, that I might fight off the schemes of the enemy. Lord, lead me from various temptations, that I might know and do Your will instead. I believe in You, God. I trust in You, Lord. I give You my life. I will follow You, Jesus, this day and forever. I give You praise. I love You. Amen.

Genesis 3:14-16

Genesis 3:14-16 (KJV)
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

The Consequences Of The Fall
