[1 Adam+Eve 26:4] — "And we are forced to enter this cave which is like a prison, wherein darkness covers us, so that we are parted from each other; and thou canst not see me, neither can I see thee."

The need and urge to enter the cave became felt as a force with no other option on them but to enter the cave though the cave was like prison of darkness covering them, like partitioning of separation between them, which makes mystifying or estranging each one of them from another within the cave. According to this their confession or compliant, Adam and Eve were also under "Yoke of Bondage" bound to return back to the cave that was as prison to them, darkness around them, and blindfolding their eyes from even seeing each other. They don't like their present condition or circumstances, and yet they don't have option than to dwell or to keep returning to that stagnation, darkness, poverty, prison as it were, and isolation.

Yoke of Bondage may some times appear to allow its slaves free movements but with no option of escaping it, which brings them back to where they were. Movements are not restricted in them but options and opportunities are restricted or unavailable in them; and they appear to be making movements or activities, but they are not making progress neither are they advancing nor better than they were before. Such is when returning to the same state or condition where they left off usually reappear as their best option or only option, after all said and done. That's a vanity cycle or meaningless rotation.


[1 Adam+Eve 26:5] — When Adam had said these words, they wept and spread their hands before God; for they were full of sorrow.

When Adam spoke those words to Eve, both of them busted into prayers of tears with their hands spread before God; for they converted their sorrow mood into prayer mood. The things Adam had said to Eve was not killing prayer urge in both the speaker and the hearer, but was rather boosting the prayer urge in both the speaker and the hearer.

In contrast, some people's speeches and talks kill the urge to pray fervently before God in those who paid attention to such speeches or talks. And some people are overwhelmed with sorrow to the point they cannot even pray, like the disciples who were sleeping for sorrow instead of praying.

[Luke 22:45-46] — "And when He rose up from prayer, and was come to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow, And said to them, Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation."

No speeches, no talks, no tongues and no sorrow, took away the crying out of Adam and Eve to God. If they were babies, it will be said those two babies know how to cry out to get their parent's attention. Perhaps Abel got more from them in this area, which was the reason neither death, sorrow nor distance, could shut the speaking voice of Abel from reaching before God. Sorrows or Speeches could not Silent their Supplications.


[1 Adam+Eve 26:6] — And they entreated God to bring the sun to them, to shine on them, so that darkness return not upon them, and they come not again under this covering of rock. And they wished to die rather than see the darkness.

Before Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and God granted audience to that voice of man above the ordinance of God (Joshua 10:12-14), Adam and Eve were the first men to pray the Lord God to cause the Sun to stand still over them forever.

Content of the Prayer Points made by Adam and Eve in the Verse above

*1* They were requesting God to return the Sun and make it permanently still or stationed so that there will never be sunset (evening) or darkness (night) fall on them. So they loved morning and noon, but hated or rejected evening and night fall.

*2* They preferred Death over Darkness: they would rather have death than have the shadow of death.

Those were fervent Prayers, but also wrong Prayer Points.

[Ecclesiastes 11:7-8] — "Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity."

Praying aloud does not always mean praying aright. Some people have the voice and energy for prayers, but lack the wisdom and knowledge of making wise requests or petitioning, as Adam and Eve were in this verse above. Such people pray very hard, but pray wrongly because their prayers are not according to the Will of God nor ordered in Wisdom that God would respect.

So lack of knowledge is worse than lack of prayer.

However, even a fervent prayer that's prayed wrongly or with lack of knowledge still has benefits even when they are not to be granted by God. God would not grant these foolish prayer points Adam and Eve were making above, but God will grant them some benefits for even praying them. The night of the Lord's agony in Gethsemane, the Lord Jesus Christ was praying for Cup to pass without drinking it, which was not the Will of God; but because He was praying fervently to the points His sweat was like drops of blood, God granted Him some other benefits such as Angels came to strengthen Him, fears were removed from Him, His Heart was made ready to face whatever was coming, and the journey was made much easier for Him, etc.

To avoid praying wrongly, don't always assume your desires are your solutions: Your desires are usually thinking about the present or temporary, but the best solutions by the Will of God for you are thinking about the future and the eternal.
