Summary
“We’ll never be a perfect parent, but we can be a praying parent.” —Mark Batterson
Today we wrap-up nine months of praying over our kids this school year. As I look back over the past few months, I’m amazed by the things we’ve seen and experienced in this country. We have witnessed things that we never could have imagined last August while taking our beloved first day of school pictures.
Thankfully, none of it surprises God.
If we’ve learned anything this school year, it’s that we cannot predict what tomorrow will bring. The events of these past few months have highlighted the importance of faithfully coming before the author of all of our days and praying for our families.
This week we are praying God-sized dreams for our kids. Pastor and best-selling author of Praying Circles Around Your Children, Mark Batterson, joins me with a powerful reminder of why we pray for our kids. He provides encouragement to pray for God's bigger purposes for their lives. My favorite part of the podcast is talking about not making the mistake that King David’s dad, Jesse, made. All he could see was a shepherd boy in David, yet God was in the process of grooming a king.
Join us today as we pray God-sized dreams for our kids and conclude a school year of prayer.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, this Cynthia. |
| 0:07.4 | Welcome to our last week of our prayer podcast. |
| 0:11.1 | It is hard to believe that we have been doing this with a prayer journal and praying |
| 0:14.5 | over our kids since September 8th. |
| 0:17.1 | And who would have thought on September 8th that it would end this way? |
| 0:20.6 | But I'm just grateful for all of you for praying through the school year. |
| 0:24.1 | I hope it spoke to you and your kids. |
| 0:26.1 | And you've just seen ways that the Lord has really intervened and been a part of your kids' school year. |
| 0:31.7 | So we on this last week are praying God-sized dreams for our kids. |
| 0:36.9 | And the verse we have is Jeremiah 29-11, |
| 0:39.2 | for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, |
| 0:43.9 | plans to give you a hope and a future. And I just am thrilled to have with us on this prayer |
| 0:49.1 | podcast, Mark Batterson, and he zoomed in with us. He will also be on our Thursday podcast, so you are going |
| 0:55.4 | to want to listen to it. Don't miss it. But I have been reading his books, one in particular in a |
| 1:00.3 | pit with a lion on a snowy day, and it is so relevant to all of us just chasing the things God |
| 1:05.9 | would have for our lives, even when it's scary and there's obstacles. And when we were able to get an interview |
| 1:11.6 | with Mark and ended up being this week, I was thrilled to be able to have him on our prayer |
| 1:15.7 | podcast because he speaks into the God-sized dreams for our kids. So I'm excited for you to hear a word |
| 1:21.6 | for Mark Batterson as we pray God-sized dreams. All right, Mark, I'm glad you're here with us today. |
| 1:27.4 | You are on another podcast for us this week that I encourage everyone to listen to, but I think |
| 1:31.7 | you're the perfect wrap-up to our whole year of praying over our kids. |
| 1:35.8 | You have a book that has influenced so many circle makers and circle makers for kids. |
