Genesis 4:26

‘Men began to pray to the *Lord.’ When Adam and Eve were in the garden, they talked with God. Then their evil deed separated them from God. Cain turned away from God and so he did not pray. Abel might have prayed, but he was dead. But Seth and Enosh and other people prayed. People again talked with God.
