Summary
“Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:3–4)
We have probably all been hurt by trusting someone or something too much. As believing parents, we know that there is something better for our kids when they put their trust in Jesus. Trusting Jesus means surrendering every part of our stories to him and knowing that his plans are good. Even if he feels far away at times, he cares for us and will provide for our needs because the world may under-deliver, but Jesus never breaks a promise.
This means when our kids trust Jesus:
- They don’t need to be afraid when they are put in an unknown situation or life feels uncertain because Jesus always wins.
- They can feel confident that Jesus will protect them when they are facing something difficult because God answers his children when they call on him.
- They are God’s child, no matter how others treat them.
- They can have hope even in hopeless situations because Jesus has already overcome the world!
- Their lives will be blessed.
This week, let’s pray that our kids fully love God by trusting in Jesus and begin to experience his great promises.
God, I pray that ___________ learns to trust in you and your promises. When they are tempted to believe the promises of the world, may their heart be reminded that you will never forsake them. May they consistently see the sweet fruit that comes from trusting in you with their lives and with their stories. Amen.

| 0:03.5 | Hey, friends. Welcome to Pardon the Mess. I'm your host, Courtney Defeo, and we have made it to 2025. |
| 0:19.9 | Doesn't that sound like an episode of the Jetsons? |
| 0:22.8 | Who's old enough to remember? I was like, man, that is just the craziest thing to think about life |
| 0:28.7 | like that. I'm like, oh, here we are. And a year called 2025 when there's like electric vehicles |
| 0:33.9 | and all kinds of this bizarreness going on that we're living in. So welcome. It seems so |
| 0:39.1 | far away. But all of a sudden, I'm in the year. So if your kids are little, they probably have a |
| 0:43.4 | t-shirt. It's like class of 3032, or whatever, 2032. Ella used to wear a class of 2025. |
| 0:49.5 | And I thought, man, that's like light years away. And here we are. She's graduating in 2025. |
| 0:54.1 | I can't believe it. |
| 0:55.1 | But we are finishing up the love section of our prayer journal. We're doing a journal through |
| 1:01.2 | Christian parenting called A Life of Faith and we pray together every Monday. So if you didn't do it in the |
| 1:05.5 | fall, you can join us for the rest of the school year. You don't have to have the journal, |
| 1:09.0 | but you can get the journal over at Christian Parent parenting called a Life of Faith. But basically, we just gather together |
| 1:13.8 | as a group of Christian parents and say, like, let's pray specifically that our kids will know, |
| 1:18.9 | love, follow, and share Jesus. How do we do that? And so for this week, week 18, which is our |
| 1:24.9 | last one of the love section, we are talking about trust. How do we trust Jesus and |
| 1:30.4 | pray that our kids trust Jesus? So I want to just pause to and just say, Gold Stars, folks. |
| 1:37.1 | We did another section. We did all the weeks of no. We did all the weeks of love. And now we're |
| 1:42.0 | moving on to the follow section next. |
| 1:48.7 | But if you look back as maybe you're a New Year's resolution person and you're already looking back going, oh, 2024, I didn't do this and that and that. |
| 1:52.2 | But you know what you did? |
