²⁶ A son was born to Seth also, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD. (Genesis 4:26)

1. What do you suppose it meant to call on the name of the Lord?
2. Are there any clues in Genesis of why the inclusion of this verse is important?
3. How would this be similar to today?
4. How would this be different to today?
5. How can this story inform our prayers today?
