Genesis 4

I was reading genesis today when I took note of this particular verse, genesis 4:7.

If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.”

It struck me because I think it describes my experience so accurately. When we have been living in compromise (if you do not do well), sin indeed crouches in wait for us. 
It is in my lazy, apathetic moments that I often fall into temptation. 

If you do well, will you not be accepted (or, will your head not be lifted up)?
Help me dear God, let me not add to myself sorrow upon sorrow. Help me to be diligent even when I am down and I pray that you will help me find joy in what I am doing, in the path I have chosen.
