Summary
It’s week 11 of our prayer journal, and we are praying this week for our kids to have hope.
All around us, people are placing their hope in earthly things that cannot possibly deliver. Let’s pray that our children put their hope in the Lord, the only One who can strengthen, restore, and deliver on the great plans he has for us.
Without hope, our kids will face anxiety, depression, and much more. Ask the Lord for a hope that carries them in their days of discouragement and that he will daily renew their strength.
In his book Unshakable Hope, Max Lucado has a great reminder as we pray hope for our kids this week:
We are building our lives on the promises of God!
Because his Word is unbreakable, our hope is unshakable.
We do not stand on the problems of life or the pain in life.
We stand on the great and precious promises of God.
Thank you for joining us as we pray hope over our kids this week!

| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, welcome to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:08.5 | I am glad you're with us. |
| 0:09.9 | As always, this is Cynthia Yanov, and we are continuing to pray through the school year for our kids. |
| 0:17.2 | And so this week, November 17th to the 23rd, we will be praying hope for our kids. |
| 0:23.0 | And our key verse is Isaiah 4031. |
| 0:26.1 | For those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles, |
| 0:31.0 | they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. |
| 0:35.2 | Hope is one of those areas that I'm not sure I've ever prayed for my kids. |
| 0:38.5 | That's why I love what we're doing this year, just taking time to really find different aspects |
| 0:43.1 | of their faith, aspects of their lives to pray over. And hope is one I'm not sure I've prayed, |
| 0:48.0 | but it's so important. And hope is mentioned all over the Bible. We have lots of scripture |
| 0:52.9 | in the prayer book for you to look at, but also if you just Google Bible verses with hope, you will find so many. It's just a preeminent theme in the Bible. But it's funny, hoping in the right things is what's key. And our world obviously puts hope in the things of this earth. One time when my husband was really sick, |
| 1:11.8 | he was an ICU, and it was kind of a life and death situation many years ago. And I remember |
| 1:17.0 | I ran across someone who said, well, I hope he gets better. I'm crossing my fingers for you. |
| 1:22.4 | And nothing against that person, but I was like, crossing your fingers, huh, that's a sad way to place your |
| 1:29.3 | hope or your best wishes for someone is crossing your fingers. And we have a bigger hope, right? |
| 1:35.0 | We have a bigger hope in the Lord, and scriptures filled with that. I love our verse today that |
| 1:39.0 | says, for those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, right? If you hope in the things of the Lord, then your |
| 1:45.5 | strength is renewed. It's not renewed by hoping the things of this earth, hoping the things turn out |
| 1:50.2 | how they're supposed to, crossing your fingers. And so that's what we're praying for our kids, |
| 1:54.1 | that they put their hope in the right place. And I think there's a little discipline to that. |
| 1:58.6 | I think there's also some knowledge you have to have to do that. |
