After what seemed a typical bedtime prayer, local Utahn John Henry, 65, accidentally cursed himself by praying for “moisture” instead of rain.

“I’ve always prayed for moisture. It never even occurred to me that I could just pray for rain instead,” admitted Henry. “Apparently God got fed up with my requests.”

Upon saying such a fateful prayer, Henry reported waking up in a cold sweat the next morning, the air sticky and heavy all around him.

“I told him not to pray for something so weird,” complains Henry’s wife, Maggie Henry. “And now God’s cursed him with high humidity.”

“All my crackers have gone soft, and my bread is starting to get moldy,” Henry cried. “The moisture makes everything smell dank and musty.”

As news of this incident spreads, local weather stations are begging residents to be more specific in their prayers and ask for things such as “precipitation” or “rainfall” over praying for moisture.

“It’s just lucky that this occurred during wintertime,” shared local weatherwoman April Showers. “This could have been deadly if he had prayed for this during the summer, because as we all know, it’s not the heat but the humidity that kills you.”
