Summary
Today we’re praying for our kids to be marked by confidence.
As I think back on the mistakes I made growing up, many of those could have been avoided if I would have rooted my confidence in the Lord and not in this world.
We will talk about practical ways to give our kids confidence in the character of God by pointing them back to our personal “stones of remembrance.” It’s sharing how God’s been faithful in the past to gain confidence in his faithfulness for our future. His character is unchanging.
And as an aside, I felt oddly compelled to share my mom’s most embarrassing moment as a reminder of how fleeting our earthly confidence can be. It’s really good stuff you can’t afford to miss. 😂
Remember, when we root our confidence in the things of this world, we will never find satisfaction. Let’s pray that our kids’ confidence comes from the right source: God himself.
Can’t wait to pray together!

| 0:03.5 | Hey guys, welcome to partner to miss. |
| 0:16.8 | Cynthia, I'm glad that you are with us today. |
| 0:19.2 | We're praying for our kids. And this week, |
| 0:20.9 | we're praying they are marked by confidence. And so I'll start you off with a story of a lack of |
| 0:26.5 | confidence. This has nothing really to do with anything. But let's just have a good laugh because who |
| 0:31.6 | couldn't use a good laugh on a Monday morning? So I'm going to share with you my mom's most |
| 0:35.3 | embarrassing moment. I'm sure she'll appreciate this later. |
| 0:37.8 | If you have your kids in the car, it's probably a fine story, but it might require a little explanation. |
| 0:42.5 | So maybe you wait. But anyway, my mom was getting ready for prom. She had a date. She was so excited in high school. |
| 0:49.8 | And she had this beautiful dress. And it was long, like to to the ground and it was apparently full of lace and |
| 0:55.8 | so beautiful dress and she said she was walking down the hall her date was there she felt so |
| 1:00.8 | confident and beautiful and walking on the hall and so they took pictures with her date and you know |
| 1:05.9 | he put her flower on and all of that and as they're he said, oh, there's something that's attached to your |
| 1:11.9 | dress. And she looked down and at the bottom of her full length, beautiful dress, her mom's |
| 1:19.4 | size double D bra had gotten hooked onto the dress. With all of that lace, it had hooked on to it. |
| 1:26.5 | And she was dragging it along behind her. |
| 1:29.6 | And so we always laugh about that, how she felt so good and confident, and that was just |
| 1:34.6 | completely gone within moments. And can you imagine the whole rest of the night? I would just |
| 1:39.6 | want to crawl, I don't know, in a hole somewhere. So as we're thinking about confidence, it's interesting |
| 1:46.0 | to think about that in light of our kids and praying confidence over them. And obviously, |
| 1:50.7 | that is a shallow story of confidence or lack thereof. And we're going to look at the deeper |
