Summary

“The truth is, of course, that what one regards as interruptions are precisely one’s life.” —C. S. Lewis

The Lord uses people for his kingdom purposes who are willing to let go of their own agenda and go with his. To trade in their own personal security for something bigger than they can accomplish on their own. He uses those who live interruptible lives.

Many of the disciples were asked to literally lay down their fishing nets in order to walk with Jesus. Jesus knew that, only when they were willing to walk away from their own plans, he could lead them on the journey of a lifetime with the message of eternity.

At his very core, Jesus wants his people to have a deep connection with him. Through this deep connection, he’s able to lead us to places we otherwise would not go.

We will have nets to lay down if we’re going to follow Jesus—and so will our kids.

Praying for our kids to live interruptible lives is an interesting prayer when we know personally how frustrating it is to be interrupted. It’s not easy, but it’s right.

Let’s pray this week that our kids have a heart for God’s calling in their lives and that they will be willing to lay down their nets every day in order to follow their Savior.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.”                                 
—Isaiah 55:8–9

Hey guys, this is Cynthia Yanov, and I'm so glad you're with us this week.

0:09.0

Again, as we are praying for our kids through the school year, we are praying interruptibility

0:13.6

for them this year.

0:14.6

And I love this topic, so I'm excited that we're praying it this week.

0:18.2

Our verse is Esther 414, for if you remain silent at this time

0:22.1

relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place but you and your father's

0:26.6

family will perish and who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time

0:31.8

as this and so we will talk more about that in a minute but I just have to keep it real

0:36.6

again today and tell you,

0:38.6

we do not like to be interrupted. I particularly do not like to be interrupted. And it's kind of

0:43.4

comical because I've been sitting here waiting to tape this podcast and some of them I tape at

0:47.7

my house in my office. And so there's a time frame today with my little one is napping and I

0:53.3

need to pick up my middle schooler

0:54.6

in a little while at school. So I have this little block in my mind of time when I could tape.

0:59.3

And there has been a yard crew down the street working seems endlessly. And it is so loud

1:05.2

and there's blowers and mowers. And I've waited and waited and waited. And I find myself

1:09.1

getting more and more frustrated because it's totally interrupting my time frame. And I just had to laugh. I'm like, oh my gosh, I still

1:15.8

am terrible at being interrupted. Like I want it done when I want it done my way. And I think that's

1:20.8

probably all of us. But I'm passionate about this subject because I know the Lord has spoken

1:25.2

it into my own life and it has made such a difference.

1:28.7

And I know the Lord probably in all of our lives has wanted us to at times slow down.

1:33.7

Stop.
