Summary
Today we begin week 9 of praying our kids through the school year. This week we are praying specifically for our kids to understand the importance of time management.
Our children’s days, like ours, are filled with so many demands for their time. If we teach them the importance of managing it now, it can have a huge impact on their adult lives.
I have a sweet friend joining us on our podcast today, Summer Dale. She shares some great reminders of why it matters that we teach our kids time management skills so they can effectively accomplish God’s greater plans for their lives.
Let’s pray that our kids manage school, activities, family, and time with the Lord in a way that best honors God and brings his perfect wisdom. The best life for our children is one spent prioritizing the things of God, not the things of this world.
Join us this week in praying our kids manage their time well as they balance the demands of life with the higher purposes of God.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, this is Cynthia Yanov, host A Pardon the Mess. I am so glad you're with us again today. |
| 0:12.3 | We are continuing to pray for our kids through the school year. And this week, we are praying time management. |
| 0:18.5 | Our verse is Psalm 9012. Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of |
| 0:23.6 | wisdom. And I am so excited to have a guest with me today. I'm going to let her introduce herself and |
| 0:30.4 | talk time management with me. Hello, glad you're here, Summer. Hi, my name is Summerdale. I am |
| 0:37.0 | married and have three daughters. We have a daughter who's a senior |
| 0:40.0 | in high school, a sophomore in high school, and a seventh grade girl as well. So I'm all about |
| 0:44.8 | working on time management. It's, it's never mastered in my mind. Well, absolutely. And we were |
| 0:50.1 | just talking before we even got started. And she knows that with some of these prayer concepts |
| 0:54.6 | that we're praying each week, I've brought in someone that's either really good at this or that can just |
| 0:59.0 | kind of chat about it with us and we can work through it together. So hopefully that encourages you. |
| 1:03.6 | And I did not know summer well. I'm so glad I do now. But she has a good friend, Jill, that said she is really good at time management. So we're going to talk through it on a lot of different levels. |
| 1:13.3 | But starting with summer, I think time management seems kind of boring. |
| 1:17.4 | Like of the things we pray for our kids, I can think of a thousand things. |
| 1:20.5 | I'm more interested in praying for them. |
| 1:22.1 | But it's important, right? |
| 1:23.5 | It's important because what they learn now really ends up what they do as adults, right? Do you agree with that? |
| 1:30.8 | I agree with you. And I think we set that tone for them ourselves. I think more than telling them to work on that, it's how we model it. |
| 1:37.0 | I think of a friend of mine who I've heard her saying, just in passing and in conversation that she'll pray over the small decisions and the big decisions, |
| 1:44.7 | it might be like, is your daughter going to play this sport with us this year? And she said, |
| 1:48.3 | I don't know, I'm going to pray about that. And that has really stood out to me. And it reminds me |
| 1:51.6 | to be more prayerful over even the small decisions for myself and my kids and that they'll hopefully |
