Summary
I was on a radio interview recently where the host asked me how to teach our kids about God without cramming the Bible down their throat. I guess I understood his general sentiment, but my initial thought was “can we ever give our kids too much of God’s word?”
Today we’re praying for our kids to be marked by God’s word because we know that God’s word is the only true wisdom in life. If God’s word is active and alive (Hebrews 4:12), God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16), and our only refuge (Psalm 18:30), I’m not sure it’s possible to overplay its value.
This month we’ll be talking (and praying) from the context of the book of Nehemiah. Nehemiah had a deep love of God’s word which guided him in doing God-sized things while leading others to repentance and action.
Listen to today’s podcast and join me in praying for our kids to be marked by God’s word in their lives. Pray that they will know their infinite value and his great love for them even in the midst of today’s uncertainties and hard places.
There are a million things we do for our families each day, let’s be sure praying for them is at the top of the list.

| 0:03.0 | Hey guys, welcome to pardon the mess. I'm glad you are with us today as we continue praying for our kids |
| 0:21.0 | through the school year. It's November, which is really hard to believe, and we are approaching |
| 0:25.7 | the holidays. So this is a great time to really buckle down and keep praying over our kids. |
| 0:30.5 | And today we're praying that our kids are marked by God's word. And so as you know, we've been |
| 0:35.0 | doing this to the context of scripture as we pray an attribute each week. |
| 0:38.2 | And we're going through different people in the Old Testament. |
| 0:41.1 | And this month, we're going to look at the life of Nehemiah. |
| 0:43.9 | And I love so much about Nehemiah's life. |
| 0:47.1 | And so let me give you a touch of background so you know where we're headed with this. |
| 0:50.9 | And we're going to skip around a little bit. |
| 0:52.7 | But basically, think back to |
| 0:54.3 | when Solomon built the temple and the temple was eventually destroyed by the Babylonians. And the |
| 1:00.2 | Babylonians deported the Jews and they went back to Babylon, which eventually was Persian, ruled. And |
| 1:06.5 | so it's about 70 years after the Jews have been exiled that some people, a little remnant of the Jews, |
| 1:15.2 | go back to Jerusalem. But the majority are still not there. And so skip forward, it's 150 years |
| 1:20.8 | after there has been this whole tear down of Jerusalem when Nehemiah enters the picture. |
| 1:27.3 | Ezra rebuilt a smaller version of the temple. |
| 1:30.1 | Nehemiah steps in the picture. |
| 1:31.4 | And what we know is this. |
| 1:32.6 | Nehemiah's name means the Lord has comforted, which I think is just a sweet little |
| 1:36.7 | side note. |
