Summary
It’s hard to believe we’re wrapping up the first month of praying for our kids in this new school year! This week, we’re praying for our kids to be marked by faith in God. Specifically, we’re asking the Lord to give them deep faith that endures in the good times, hard times, and every time in between.
We’ve been studying the life of Joseph. We’ve seen how Joseph’s faith kept him steady as he faced the difficulties of family divisiveness, being sold into slavery, false imprisonment, and even a famine. He didn’t know what the future held, but he trusted the God who did. That’s exactly what we want for our kids.
In 2 Corinthians 4:18 we are given an idea of what it takes to live by faith: “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
Fixing our eyes on the unseen is foundational to trusting God. We’re walking in days when the “seen” things are scary and unknown. But the unseen things, they remind us that God is on his throne and he goes before us and behind us promising to work all things for our good and his glory (Romans 8:28).
Join me this week as we pray for our kids to be marked by an enduring faith.

| 0:16.1 | Welcome to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:17.5 | I'm glad you're with us on these mini-mess episodes where we are praying through the school year with our kids. This week, we are praying faith for our kids. And as you |
| 0:26.2 | know, if you've been listening all month, we've been talking out the life of Joseph and just grounding |
| 0:31.0 | our prayers in scripture and the different things we've learned from his life. And so as we wrap it up, this will be our last week |
| 0:38.7 | of Joseph. Let me give you the thumbnail end of the story. Remember, as it started, Joseph was born |
| 0:44.5 | in a family with brothers who didn't care for him. He was Jacob's favorite, his dad's favorite. |
| 0:49.4 | He got the blessing. He also got the big, long coat of many colors, which got him not any more favorable |
| 0:56.0 | with his brothers. And they eventually sold him into slavery. And after that, he ended up in |
| 1:02.2 | Potipher's house and found a favor there, did well, but then was falsely accused of having a |
| 1:10.0 | relationship with Potipher's wife and he was put in prison. |
| 1:13.1 | And in prison, he met people, served them well, interpreted dreams. |
| 1:17.2 | Eventually, that led him to Pharaoh's house and he interpreted dreams that the Lord gave him answers |
| 1:23.2 | to with Pharaoh. |
| 1:25.2 | And he is telling Pharaoh in his dreams that those dreams mean there's going to be |
| 1:29.9 | a big famine. He's saying, hey, Pharaoh, we've got to start saving grain. There's going to be a |
| 1:34.2 | famine. And sure enough, there is a massive famine and they're prepared for it. And so he has gotten |
| 1:41.5 | very high up, Joseph has, in a position in Pharaoh's authority, and his brothers |
| 1:47.9 | and his family that are in Canaan, they are subject to the famine as well, and they end up coming |
| 1:52.0 | to Joseph and asking for food, but they don't know it's Joseph, right? But Joseph knows it's them, |
