Bible Commentary

Genesis 4:13

Cain felt the weight of his punishment but did not express true repentance — he mourned the cost, not the wrong. Still, God listened and responded with mercy.

Memory phrase: God hears us even when we are struggling.

Talk about it: Have you ever felt like something was just too hard to deal with? What did you do?

Prayer: God, when things feel too hard, help me come to You instead of giving up.
