Summary
Today we begin week six of our prayer journal, and we are praying for our children to know their identity is found only in Jesus, not in this world.
Psalm 139:13–14 so beautifully reminds us that God perfectly and very personally created each of us in our mother’s womb. We are very intentionally made in the image of God and have great worth and identity to the Lord who has created us and calls us by name.
Let’s remind our children that they are created in the image of God, uniquely gifted for his glory. They are not the names this world calls them but are called righteous and redeemed by the Savior.
Take a minute to listen to our podcast this week as we discuss the names culture has given our children in contrast to the names Jesus uses in Scripture to describe them. Identity is a big topic for our children and one we cannot afford to miss praying over them.
A huge thank you to each of you who have joined us every week for these Monday morning prayer podcasts. We’re overwhelmed with the response we’ve received.
It would be such a blessing if you would take a minute to forward our podcast to your friends, spouse, small group—or anyone you feel led to ask to join you in praying each week. If you have not ordered a journal, they are still available.
Either way, we want you to join us each week as we pray for our kids.
Our goal is to form a community of parents committed to praying for our kids this school year. In doing so, we pray you will tangibly feel God’s blessing on our families and schools, and that we will have testimonies to share with each other of the great things God accomplished this year.
The verse on the cover of our prayer journal is Romans 12:12: “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”
May we all be found faithful in prayer this school year!

| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, this is Cynthia Yanov. Thank you for joining us again on Pardon the Mess as we pray for our |
| 0:11.7 | kids this week. And we're doing this all school year long. So we're glad you're with us. This week, |
| 0:17.1 | we are praying identity over our children. |
| 0:20.9 | The verse is Psalm 139, 13 through 14. |
| 0:24.0 | For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb. |
| 0:28.1 | I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. |
| 0:32.0 | I think that is one of the most powerful verses in the Bible because it completely defines |
| 0:36.7 | who we are. Talking about how we are created |
| 0:39.1 | by God. In our mother's womb, he knit us together. Think of that visual. He knit us together |
| 0:44.6 | our mother's womb. And we praise him because we're fearfully and wonderfully made. Isn't that amazing |
| 0:50.8 | to think about? I love that. And there's so much out there right now that |
| 0:54.2 | talks about identity. And I think it's an important topic. Especially for our kids who are growing up |
| 1:00.1 | with social media, it's so easy to get your identity wrapped up in the wrong things. I think we see it |
| 1:05.5 | as adults as well. Just that sense of comparison and feeling not good enough when you look at what's going on around |
| 1:11.8 | you. |
| 1:12.6 | And I love that this verse speaks into it like, how can you not be good enough when God, the God |
| 1:17.2 | of the universe, he created you in your mother's womb, he knits you together how he wanted |
| 1:22.2 | you to be. |
| 1:23.5 | And so we have no response other than to praise him because we're fearfully and wonderfully |
| 1:27.1 | made. |
| 1:30.2 | I just think that verse is so critical for our kids. |
| 1:34.3 | And I'm going to go on a tad of a soapbox for just a minute. |
