Summary
How are your New Year’s resolutions coming?
It’s been a few months since we kicked off 2020 and, undoubtedly, many of us have decided those naïve resolutions of January were simply a pipe dream. The crowds at the gym have died down while the lines at the In-N-Out Burger have maxed out.
I have the “My Fitness Pal” app on my phone. Every single morning, it pops up a notification around 10:00 a.m. asking if I’ve forgotten to log my breakfast.
You’re precious, little app, but I haven’t logged my breakfast (or lunch or dinner) in about six weeks. But I do want to thank you for being so ambitious on my behalf and always thinking the best of me by assuming it’s just an oversight.
This week, we’re praying that our kids have the resolve to turn away from the temptations they face and a willingness to turn to Jesus when they need a way out.
Our kids’ generation is inundated with social media, pornography, graphic music, widespread internet access, and so much more. Their resolve will need to be mighty to withstand the temptation they will face in their lives.
Kay Wyma joins us today with a needed reminder that worth is at the center of the ability to show resolve.
Our kids need to be reminded that they have immense worth in Christ and that looking away, or saying no, or living differently comes from knowing you who you are to Jesus.
In short, we’re praying, through Jesus, that our kids will have the strength and conviction to live set apart or holy in a world that is growing further and further away from Christ.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, this is Cynthia. Glad you're with us again this week. We're praying through the |
| 0:09.6 | school year for our kiddos. And this week, we are praying resolve. And so our verse is 1st |
| 0:14.9 | Corinthians 1013. No temptation is overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful. |
| 0:21.4 | He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. |
| 0:23.6 | But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. |
| 0:28.3 | And so I have Kay Wyma sitting here with me. |
| 0:30.7 | And I love having Kaye Wima with me. |
| 0:33.0 | And just so you all know, Kay was here to speak into another podcast with me. |
| 0:36.9 | And I said, hey, do you want to |
| 0:38.3 | stay over and talk about resolve? So she's had about 25 seconds to consider, consider this topic. |
| 0:45.1 | But this is the beauty of Kay Wyma. She can speak into anything. But I, when I, that's my |
| 0:51.0 | problem. The kids are like, please stop talking. No more, mom. She has five kids, |
| 0:56.3 | and she has written several books, and Kay's amazing. But I wanted to speak and to resolve. |
| 1:02.0 | I think when this was written, when I wrote this prayer journal, I think praying resolve for |
| 1:06.2 | our kids, like I wrote it in the prayer journal, but it's that sense of like, you're going to |
| 1:10.8 | be resolute that if you're going to stay out of the prayer journal, but it's that sense of like, you're going to be resolute |
| 1:11.4 | that if you're going to stay out of the temptations, the things of this world, the pornography |
| 1:15.8 | they're facing, all the comparison, the worth, the social media. And you brought this up before |
| 1:20.6 | we started taping. I'm stealing your one point, which was, yeah, we ain't going to be able to do that |
| 1:24.1 | on our own only through the Lord. But why is resolve important in |
| 1:27.8 | their lives? When we're praying that this week, what are the angles that we need to be |
| 1:31.2 | considering? Why does it matter? It seems to like every single thing else, I'm not sure everything |
