Summary
“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.” Colossians 1:16
“All things were created through him and FOR him.”
I’ve read this verse many times before, and it only hit me today that we are literally created for Jesus. We exist FOR Jesus. We are his creation and his joy, and it only makes sense that he truly wants connection with us and our children. He wants our affection, our companionship, our good, and our not-so-good. He created us to have community with him—that’s his great desire for our lives.
It’s easy to focus on the things that will bring us and our kids temporary happiness. But don’t forget to keep praying for the things that are lasting. Pray this week that our kids won’t find connection only in social media, friends, teams, or activities, but that they will have encounters with Jesus that change the trajectory of their lives and are only found in connection with their creator.
It probably goes without saying (which naturally means I’m going to say it anyway), but we need this same connection daily with the Lord. It is hard to find extra time in our days, much less time to be alone and be quiet. Join me in committing to spending time with the Lord each morning and asking him to quiet your soul so you can experience true connection with him.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, this is Cynthia Yanov, host A Pardon the Mess, and I am so glad you are with us again this week as we pray through the school year for our kids. |
| 0:13.4 | And before we get started, I want to read you a review that we got on iTunes because one, I want you to know what it means to us and how encouraging it is. |
| 0:20.0 | But two, I would encourage you also please to take a minute and leave a review for us. That's a big |
| 0:26.0 | deal. But I loved this one that one of you left recently. And it said, me and my mom tribe, |
| 0:30.8 | listen and discuss each episode of the prayer journal. It's really brought us together on the |
| 0:35.2 | motherhood side. I also love the prayers at the end. |
| 0:38.2 | It feels like someone is praying with me in the drop-off pickup line at school. |
| 0:42.0 | I love that. |
| 0:42.9 | And I want to thank you for sending that. |
| 0:44.8 | And I'm so thrilled that your group is doing it together. |
| 0:47.7 | Your mom group is. |
| 0:48.5 | And I know there's a lot of small groups that are listening to these and you discuss them |
| 0:52.4 | and you pray of your kids together. So I just want |
| 0:54.2 | you know that that thrills me. And we're just glad that this is a resource for you. And so with |
| 1:00.9 | that in mind, keep leaving us reviews. That's amazing. So this week, we are praying connection. And the |
| 1:07.7 | verse is John 15.5. I am divine. You are the branches. If you remain in me and I and |
| 1:12.9 | you, you will bear much fruit. Apart from me, you can do nothing. And I think that verse says so much. |
| 1:18.6 | I'm not sure that I need to say another word because it just talks about the importance of connectedness, |
| 1:23.3 | that apart from him, we can do nothing, that he is the vine and we're the branches. So I love that. |
| 1:28.5 | But I brought in back by popular demand. |
| 1:32.4 | She hates when I say that, by the way. |
| 1:34.7 | Stephanie Martin, my good friend. |
