Summary
It’s officially here, the last week of our prayer journal!
I have mixed emotions as we wrap up the 2020–2021school year, especially as the mom of a graduating senior. Yet I’m so thankful that even as we’ve braved the hard places of a pandemic, we’ve come together each week (okay, most weeks) to faithfully pray that our kids are marked by the things of God.
We’ve prayed that our kids are marked with integrity, confidence, generosity, endurance, and much more. But these are nothing more than admirable qualities if they aren’t used for God’s kingdom purposes.
Before Jesus ascended to heaven, he gave us our mission. He told us to go and make disciples, sharing the story of his grace and love (Matthew 28). The Great Commission is our central mission. The same is true for our kids.
But it all starts at home. It happens in the seemingly insignificant moments of reading Bible stories to our toddlers and the really hard places of pointing them to Jesus on the heels of their biggest mistakes and greatest obstacles. Please let us never underestimate the significance of our jobs as moms and dads, discipling our kids to share the gospel to the next generation.
Let’s wrap up this school year by praying that our kids are marked by the mission of Jesus, doing it with truth, discipline, purity, and every other characteristic of God we’ve prayed over them this year.
I’m so grateful for your investment in praying for your kids, and I hope you’ve seen God’s hand move in remarkable ways in their lives.
Have a wonderful summer and keep listening to Pardon the Mess on Thursdays as we have lots of great shows coming your way.

| 0:03.5 | Hey guys, welcome to pardon the mess. |
| 0:17.3 | It is almost impossible to believe that we are at the very last week of our prayer |
| 0:22.2 | journal. And we have been praying over our kids for many, many, many months. And this is week |
| 0:27.9 | actually 37. So if you start at the beginning with us, then you have been going 37 weeks |
| 0:33.2 | of praying for your kids. And so we're wrapping it up for summer. And I brought on one of my very, |
| 0:38.8 | very favorite people in the whole wide world to join us because she always has such wisdom. |
| 0:42.8 | And so with us is Kay Wyma. Hi, Kay. Hello. Thanks for having me. It is a pleasure and a joy |
| 0:49.4 | getting to walk through these things with you. Well, I know. It's always a gift to me. And I love, I just love |
| 0:56.6 | your wisdom. So whenever this is a little behind the scenes, whenever something goes south or does not |
| 1:01.1 | feel like it's supposed to, K. Wyman is my person to call and say, hmm, we need to talk. I need |
| 1:07.2 | some thoughts on this. So I think you are the perfect person to speak into this as we wrap up for the school |
| 1:13.0 | of year. |
| 1:13.4 | And obviously, we'll all continue praying for our kids. |
| 1:15.7 | But as far as pardon the mess and praying through this prayer journal. |
| 1:19.0 | And so when we're talking about being marked by mission, I think when I wrote this, |
| 1:23.5 | my thought was that kind of incorporates everything we want for our kids. |
| 1:27.1 | And you and I talk |
| 1:28.1 | at this all the time, but we both have seniors in high school. You have older kids and we both have |
| 1:32.3 | younger too. But, um, and I think when you have a senior in high school, you really start thinking |
| 1:36.6 | about those things like what do I want my kid to be about? What I want them to really know |
| 1:40.8 | before they leave here, what matters. And I know for me right now, I just keep |
