Summary
It’s almost unbelievable that we’re down to our last two weeks of praying through the 2020–2021 prayer journal. As we’re beginning to wrap it up, I’m just so thankful that you’ve been doing this together with me.
As we pray this week for our kids to be marked by “remembering,” we’re praying they will trust God’s faithfulness in their present circumstances because they have seen his goodness in the past.
I love the reference to an Ebenezer stone in 1 Samuel 7. After experiencing a huge battle victory, Samuel grabbed a stone as a memorial and named it Ebenezer, translated as “the Lord has helped us to this point.” Samuel knew the Israelites’ battle win was significant from a tactical perspective, but he also knew the more significant win was the reminder that God had protected them in the past and he’d just done it again.
Our kids need the same reminder today that Samuel gave way back then: The God who has taken care of us up to this point will do it again. He is faithful and trustworthy.
What are the Ebenezers in your family? Let’s talk about it on today’s podcast and pray together that our kids are marked by remembering that God will protect all of their days when they are surrendered to him.

| 0:03.5 | Hey guys, welcome to pardon the mess. |
| 0:17.0 | I am glad you are with us this week. |
| 0:18.9 | And we are praying our kids are marked by remembering. |
| 0:22.2 | Our verses first Samuel 712. Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Ms. Faw and Shen. |
| 0:28.2 | He named it Ebenezer, saying thus far the Lord has helped us. And so as we're praying, |
| 0:33.3 | they are marked by remembering. That may seem a little bit strange, but remembering is just |
| 0:38.0 | praying that our kids have a good memory of God's faithfulness. And the things that he's done in the |
| 0:43.3 | past show his character, which is unchanging, and he is always faithful. And that will propel them |
| 0:49.1 | into the present and the future, knowing of God. And I think about this marked by remembering. |
| 0:54.0 | And as you know, |
| 0:55.0 | I am fragile at best with my oldest about to graduate from high school in about 20 days. And she was |
| 1:02.1 | just in here with me about 10 minutes ago. And we were talking about today being her last |
| 1:07.5 | softball game for the school, last one in general, and just all those memories. |
| 1:12.1 | She's played on select teams, basically her whole life. |
| 1:15.2 | And her dad's coached her most of her life. |
| 1:17.2 | And we're just talking through all the funny times, the good times, the hard times, |
| 1:21.2 | the wins and the losses, and just the memories that we have from that. |
| 1:24.8 | And of course, yes, we're both tearing up over here. |
| 1:26.8 | Hard to believe it comes to an end. And so as an aside, mamas, when you're beating down at all |
