Summary
I’ve had the blessing of raising my kids with an incredible group of moms over the past ten years. We’ve weathered some really hard places together, while also enjoying some great successes. And I'm just so thankful the Lord has blessed me with friendships that are real and vulnerable. I am grateful for friends who are willing to fight for me and my family, when I’ve lacked my own will to fight.
We all want those friendships for our kids. We know and understand the differences they have made in our lives. This week, we’re praying our kids are blessed with friendships marked by an uncompromising faith and deep loyalty.
On today’s podcast, we talk about King David and his friendship with Nathan. Nathan was a friend who told David what he needed to hear, not just what he wanted to hear. He pointed him to the truth when David was living outside of God’s best. David and Nathan are a great reminder of why we want biblical friendships for our kids.
We’re praying this week for the relationships that will have the most influence on our kids’ lives. We are praying for the spouses, friends, pastors, and mentors who will pick them up when they fall down and build them up when they’re struggling.
Proverbs 27:9 says: “A sweet friendship refreshes the soul.” As you’re praying for your kids this week, take a minute to be thankful for the godly friendships in your own life. Remember to thank those who have shown you the truths of this Scripture.
I am so grateful to be praying for our kids together this school year. And I can’t wait to see the godly relationships the Lord has in store for them.

| 0:17.0 | I glad you're with us as we are praying through the school year for our kids. |
| 0:21.4 | And this week we are praying for kids that are marked by godly relationships. |
| 0:25.8 | The verse I have in the prayer journal is Ecclesiastes 4, 9 through 10. |
| 0:29.3 | Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. |
| 0:32.6 | If either them falls down, one can help the other up, but pity anyone who falls and has no |
| 0:36.7 | one to help them up. |
| 0:38.4 | Isn't the Bible so brutally honest sometimes? Pity? Anyone who falls and has no one to help them up? |
| 0:43.8 | Well, isn't that the truth? And so, we are going to pray for our kids in the relationships this week. |
| 0:48.6 | And I was thinking in my own life about some of the godly people that have spoken into my life. |
| 0:53.4 | Obviously, my parents, and I think of my mom growing up when I'd come home and I would say, |
| 0:58.2 | you know, so-and-so did this to me or it happened at school or a teacher wasn't fair. |
| 1:02.6 | My mom almost always took the other side of it and would say, well, tell me a little more |
| 1:06.5 | about that. |
| 1:06.9 | How are you involved? |
| 1:07.9 | Why would they've reacted that way? |
| 1:09.5 | How do you need to grow from this? |
| 1:10.9 | And even though it was annoying at the time, it really was a gift to me because she was willing to |
| 1:16.3 | say the things I needed to hear. And now even as an adult, I'm sure my mom's prayed over my |
| 1:20.8 | friendships. There's no question in my mind. Now even as adult, you know, I have friends like that, |
| 1:25.3 | but one in particular, and I was just walking with |
