Summary
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience” (Colossians 3:12)
The world will tell our kids many things about who they are, and some of those things will be true and encouraging. Other messages from the world will be lies, and difficult to hear. No matter who is mean to our kids, what school they go to, or what position they play on the field, our kids belong to God. Your child is God’s child, holy and dearly loved. He or she is called upon, adopted, redeemed, and sanctified. Your child was created with intention for a purpose and God calls them precious.
So let’s pray that our kids will always stand firm in their identity in Christ so that their confidence will not shake when the world feels unsteady. Let’s ask God to help them base their identity and security in him alone.
Father God, thank you for calling __________ your child. Help them to remember that you love them and call them by name, that you have adopted them into your family, and lavish your love upon them. May they know deep in their hearts that their identity does not rest in what the world says about them, but in what you say. You say they are yours! Amen.

| 0:03.5 | Well, hello. |
| 0:16.3 | Guys, we've made it through three weeks, and we're on week four. |
| 0:19.4 | And if you're new here, we're going through a journal, a prayer journal that the team at Christian parenting put together called a Life of Faith. |
| 0:25.4 | And we just wanted to pray very specifically for our kids and their journey in life of faith because all of us are on a journey. |
| 0:33.2 | And I think that's just encouragement out of the gate that our kids don't have to be at a certain level at a certain time. |
| 0:38.5 | Like they are going to grow with the Lord over time. |
| 0:41.1 | Some people don't even come to know the Lord into their 40s, and some kids make that |
| 0:45.4 | decision at 6. |
| 0:46.3 | And so we wanted to split it up in different sections. |
| 0:49.0 | And the first section, these first few weeks, is under no. |
| 0:51.6 | So we want them to know, love, follow, and share Jesus. And there's so |
| 0:55.0 | much that comes under that. And so this first several weeks we've been doing, God the Father, |
| 0:59.7 | and Jesus, our Savior. These are kind of like the 101 parts. We want our kids to know God as their |
| 1:05.2 | Father, Jesus as their Savior, and the Holy Spirit as their help and their guide. And so this week, I'm flipping through, as you can |
| 1:12.3 | hear, week four is their identity in Christ. And it's funny timing for this. I was thinking about |
| 1:18.2 | my girls today and just how different things externally inform who they are. And that could be a |
| 1:25.1 | friend's statement. It could be the lack of just something they want in their |
| 1:30.8 | life that's not going their way, that makes them think they're unwanted or unnoticed. And so it's |
| 1:36.4 | normal for all of our kids to kind of like fumble and stress through their identity. Like, who am I? |
| 1:42.3 | And so a lot of external things can kind of inform that |
| 1:44.8 | for them. And it can be labels that we accidentally even put on them for good or for bad. And so |
