Summary
Praying good health for our kids is something most of us have intuitively prayed over them since the time they were born. As believers, we know that complete health and healing only come when we are in heaven with our Savior. But, until then, we will continue asking the Lord to keep our kids healthy and strong, protecting them from any illness that threatens their body or mind.
But in addition to praying for physical health for our kids this week, let’s also include their emotional health and everything from body image, depression and anxiety to the social media and friendship issues they all face.
Lastly, and most importantly, let’s not forget to pray for spiritual health for our kids. That’s asking the Lord to help them to truly know and trust him, exercising wisdom and discernment in all that they face each day.
There’s a lot to consider as we pray for health over our kids this week. Can’t wait to do it together.

| 0:03.5 | Hey guys, welcome to pardon the mess with Cynthia. |
| 0:16.6 | Glad you're joining us today as we're praying for our kids and praying health over them. |
| 0:21.8 | James 514 is the verse in the prayer journal says, is anyone among you sick, let them call |
| 0:26.9 | the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. |
| 0:32.0 | And I love this whole idea of coming together as a church, coming around as believers of people |
| 0:37.1 | who are |
| 0:37.8 | sick and praying over them, anointing with oil. And I don't think I had ever been a part of an |
| 0:43.2 | anointing with oil situation until the last couple of years. And I've mentioned this on our Thursday |
| 0:48.5 | podcast, but I'll share it with y'all. I have a very dear friend from college. It lives in |
| 0:52.7 | Houston. And she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. |
| 0:55.3 | And so I went to spend the day with her before her surgery and then to help with her kids and all the things the day of her surgery. |
| 1:03.0 | And I remember when I got there, she said, hey, some people from my church want to come this evening and pray over me and anoint me with oil. |
| 1:08.8 | And she was like, is that weird? |
| 1:09.9 | I'm like, I don't know. I mean, it's biblical, but I've never seen it done. But girl, you got a brain tumor |
| 1:15.0 | and we're going to take anything we can get at this point. So let's go for it. And the people from |
| 1:19.4 | church came, a huge crowd, and they gathered in her home and they prayed over her with oil. And it was the coolest situation just to see. The circumstances |
| 1:28.6 | around it were so difficult, but to see in the midst of it how the Lord just came upon her. |
| 1:34.0 | She had a peace. I just could see a change in her countenance. Now, I'm not here to give doctrine |
| 1:39.5 | or theology behind anointing with oil. I'm just sharing my story of it, but I will say that this friend had been |
