Summary
“But Jesus told him, 'No! The Scriptures say, "People do not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God"’” (Matthew 4:4 NLT)
Reading the Bible and memorizing scripture matters because it is one way we can fight the battles in our own lives—both big and small. Scripture can help our kids (and us!) feel confident in our God-given identity, face a life crisis, and everything in between. Knowing God’s word also develops our faith and brings us closer to God. Every bit of scripture is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12), God-breathed, and teaches us to live righteously (2 Timothy 3:16).
The more we know God’s word and keep it in our hearts, the more we understand God’s heart and his ways, aligning our wills to his. The word of God protects us from the desire to do it all by ourselves and replaces that desire with the desire to let God direct our paths. God loves us too much to leave us to our own devices. He reveals truth to us through his word so that the desires of our hearts become more like his!
So this week, let’s pray that our kids will know the word of God and lean on it to guide them in every area of their lives.
Father God, I pray that ____________ grows to learn your word, love your word, and see it as holy and infallible. May they love the Bible and read it daily with the goal of knowing your heart more and more. May they rely on your word to direct their paths. Remind them to hide your word in their hearts so they can use it to fight any battle they face—now and in the future. Amen.

| 0:04.2 | Hello. So can I be honest? I'm in bad mood. I just am super overwhelmed and I don't know. |
| 0:24.5 | Sometimes this teenage stuff can be hard. |
| 0:26.5 | Actually, a lot of times it can be hard. |
| 0:28.0 | And I try to paint the positive picture for y'all because there's a lot of good in it. |
| 0:31.9 | But seasons like Homecoming can be really tricky and it seems like a lot of drama. |
| 0:36.3 | But there's just more going on with |
| 0:38.3 | these kids and as far as feeling secure or rejected or all that and there's just drama around it |
| 0:44.9 | and it's just bummed me out today for not just my kids but like all kinds of kids that are in |
| 0:50.3 | the school and I just don't like it so So honestly, I needed today to kind of get |
| 0:55.8 | centered back with God's word, because if I'm honest, I woke up and just stressed about it |
| 1:00.5 | instead of directly going to God's word. And wouldn't you have it that a friend of mine named |
| 1:05.9 | Casey, I knew him in Orlando. He was actually a mailman. Imagine that, that I'm friends with my |
| 1:10.6 | mailman. But he just started I'm friends with my mailman. |
| 1:11.5 | But he just started in recent years sending me a devotion every day. And so today, after I was in a |
| 1:18.3 | bad mood this morning, he sent me Proverbs 3 and 3.5 from the message version that says, |
| 1:23.4 | trust God from the bottom of your heart. Don't try to figure out everything on your own. And isn't that |
| 1:28.6 | the ballgame? I mean, I can't say that all the time, but I really do feel like that's it. Like, |
| 1:33.2 | we have to trust God with all of our heart. And I really, really do want to figure it out. I want to |
| 1:37.8 | make everybody happy. I want everyone to not feel hurt and to be included, and that's just not my role or possible. And so I was thankful |
| 1:45.5 | for God's word today. So as we pray through this journal that Christian parenting put together, |
| 1:51.2 | we are going through the life and faith of our kids. We're praying through how they know, |
