## Written prayer

Lord, through today's reading of Genesis 4:1-16 I now realize that even though life has its hard moments I can still choose to thank You that Your presence will never leave me. Because of this truth I don’t have to allow jealousy to settle in my heart when it appears that others are being blessed by You. Instead, I will focus on the fact that as I keep my heart right and serve You with gladness nothing that has been reserved for me will go to anyone else because what You have for me is for me! I decree and declare that my seat has been reserved at the table of success, I declare that nothing but joy and happiness will come forth through me when I see others succeed and win at life. Thank You God, that You’ve already covered any past emotions of jealousy and anger. Thank You that hatred and resentment are not a part of my story. Through the lives of Cain and Abel I will make sure that my sacrifice to You is one of Joy and wholeness of heart.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
