Summary
R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
There’s not a parent out there who hasn’t echoed the words of the legendary Aretha saying, “All I’m askin’ is for a little respect when you get home.”
This week, we’re praying for our kids to have respect. This is a core value that impacts all of their relationships, and it’s critical to walking well with the Lord. It starts by teaching respect in the home, and obedience is a key component as we raise our kids.
On today’s podcast, we talk about what it looks like to respect the Lord, starting with showing respect to the people around us who are his creation. We consider Scripture that tells us to honor and respect our governing authorities, and we talk about how to teach our children to disagree well with others.
If we take it a little bit further this week while praying respect, we can also pray that our kids respect the word of God, respect their bodies, and respect those with authority over them in all aspects of their lives. That’s a lot to pray over this week!
I also want to make you among the first to hear about a new product I wrote that’s available for the first time this week!
Raising kids involves lots of discipline and correction to keep them on course, balanced with ensuring they know that their true identity in Christ has absolutely nothing to do with their performance or behavior.
He Calls You By Name: 30 Reminders of Your Identity in Christ is a set of cards designed to be a visual reminder to your kids of their real identity. They are modern, they are biblically based, and they are a tangible way to remind your kids that they are loved and significant because of the One who loves them.
The front of the card has Scripture talking about identity, and the back has a short summary of why that truth matters in their life and how it impacts who they really are. Grab a set of these cards to put in your kitchen, on your kids’ nightstand, or anywhere that will remind them of who they belong to and the significance such knowledge brings.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, this is Cynthia Yanoff. Thanks for joining us again this week as we are praying for our kids this school year. And this week we are praying that they have respect. The verses are Ephesians 6 1 through 3. Children obey your parents and the Lord for this is right. Honor your father and |
| 0:21.3 | mother, which is the first commandment with a promise so that it may go well with you and that you may |
| 0:25.4 | enjoy long life on earth. I think these verses are so important because when we talk about respect |
| 0:31.6 | and teaching our children to be respectful, I think it starts in the home. And I was thinking just in |
| 0:36.9 | my own life with our kids here, |
| 0:39.2 | it's interesting to think about how when you start teaching respect and putting priority on that, |
| 0:44.3 | it looks different depending on the ages of your kids. But no matter the age of your kids, |
| 0:48.9 | it's still such an important concept to discipline, to pray over. And so respect with my four-year-old, of course, |
| 0:56.3 | you can imagine all the issues with respect there and obedience, but then even in middle |
| 1:00.2 | school and in high school, how we're still working towards that. And respect is so important, |
| 1:06.0 | and you know this, but it's so important because it's core to all of our relationships. |
| 1:10.2 | It is literally something |
| 1:11.6 | that can enhance or detract from all of our relationships. We know people who really have never |
| 1:19.0 | learned respect. They don't treat people with respect. They don't know how to respect authority. |
| 1:23.1 | And that's just not God's best for our families or for our children. So I'm glad we're taking time |
| 1:28.6 | this week to pray respect. And when I first looked at it, I was kind of like, well, okay, this will be |
| 1:33.4 | about a one minute podcast because, you know, how much can we elaborate on this? But of course, |
| 1:38.9 | the more I prayed about it and looked at scripture, there is more to it that we need to think |
| 1:42.7 | about. And so let's start with |
| 1:45.2 | respecting the Lord. I think that's a cornerstone to what we do. Psalm 1110 says, the fear of the Lord |
| 1:51.7 | is the beginning of wisdom. And the fear of the Lord is not a reference to literally being scared or |
| 1:57.3 | afraid, but it's showing respect, a reverence for the Lord, and that that is the |
