Summary
The entire theme of this year’s prayer journal is built around the notion of being “marked” by the things of God.
In a culture that threatens to mark our kids with anxiety, depression, and social media inundation (and in the midst of a pandemic), we’re praying that our kids will be supernaturally marked only by the things of God.
This week we’re praying for arguably the most significant “marking” in our kids’ lives: that they will be marked by God’s presence.
The presence of God is a core message from Genesis, with Adam and Eve in the garden, all the way to Revelation and the promise of all eternity with God. Living in God’s presence is significant for our kids because it’s assurance that they are never overlooked, unseen, or insignificant.
We can find joy no matter what we’re facing in this world because of the presence of Jesus in our lives.
Join me in praying this over our kids this week.

| 0:03.5 | Hey guys, this Cynthia, welcome to pardon the mess, and I'm glad you're with us as we're praying |
| 0:19.4 | through the school year for our kids. |
| 0:21.3 | This week we are praying that they are marked by God's presence. |
| 0:24.7 | And the verse that we have in the prayer journal is Matthew 28 to 20. |
| 0:28.3 | And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age. |
| 0:32.3 | And I'm not sure that there is a greater promise in Scripture than that one. |
| 0:36.3 | Just stop and ponder that. And I would say |
| 0:38.2 | pray over that this week. What a great promise and encouragement that we are always with God. He's with us |
| 0:44.1 | till the end of time. And that's pretty amazing. And so we're praying that for our kids this week. |
| 0:49.7 | And as you know, I've been grounding our prayer in different scripture, different people of the Bible, |
| 0:55.9 | the Old Testament, really. And we're going through Esther the next couple of weeks. And I love the book of |
| 1:01.3 | Esther. And I would encourage you to read through it. But here's the thumbnail of it. We have a king, |
| 1:08.9 | Xerxes, who has thrown a huge bash and he's drunk and he has all of his fabulous |
| 1:15.1 | royalty type friends with him and he calls out the queen and says come on out and he wants to |
| 1:21.0 | kind of parade her in front of them and Queen Vasi says no can do not going to do it and so he |
| 1:26.7 | gets very angry and de-thrones her, |
| 1:29.6 | de-quines her, not even a word, but I said it. And so he, after several years, decides he would |
| 1:36.4 | like to find a new queen. And so that enters in Mordecai and Esther. And Esther does not have a mom or |
| 1:44.0 | dad present. And so Mordecai, who's referred Esther does not have a mom or dad present. |
| 1:45.6 | And so Mordecai, who's referred to as a cousin, has raised her. |
