Summary
What is that one thing that totally gets under your skin as a parent? Messy rooms, bad grammar, laziness? For me it’s disrespect.
It takes all I have not to lose my ever loving mind when my kids are disrespectful in our home or towards others. I think it’s because I know how detrimental it can be later in life if you don’t learn respect early on.
Respect is significant, so I’m thankful we’re talking about it this week. We’re praying that our kids learn to show respect not just towards the authorities in their lives but also respecting those around them because all people are made in the image of Christ. But taking it even further—let’s pray they have an extra dose of respect towards God’s Word, his church, and the people he has put in spiritual leadership in their lives.
Respect is one of the most important things we can teach our children as they learn to interact well with others. Let’s pray together over it this week!

| 0:03.5 | Hey guys, welcome to part of the mess. |
| 0:15.7 | This is Cynthia. |
| 0:16.6 | I'm glad you're with us today. |
| 0:17.7 | We are praying respect for our kids. |
| 0:20.7 | And so the verses in the prayer |
| 0:22.2 | in our Ephesians 6, 1 through 3, children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right. |
| 0:27.5 | Honor your mother and father, which is the first commandment with a promise so that it may go well |
| 0:31.9 | with you and that you may enjoy long life on earth. And so, Arina, one of us that can't aim into that, right? Let's teach our kids to be |
| 0:40.6 | respectful. Let's pray that over them. And I don't know about you. There's certain things in |
| 0:44.2 | parenting that drive me nets. There's certain things I can just kind of let slide with my kids, |
| 0:48.1 | with their friends. There's certain things that I'm like, oh, this is my hill to die on. Respectfulness is one of my hills to die on. Nothing makes me |
| 0:55.4 | crazier than when I hear disrespectfulness from my kids or even their friends. This is a silly |
| 0:59.8 | example, but my older two have gone to Christian private school for several years. And so as a part of |
| 1:05.8 | that, there's lunch provided by the school. I mean, we pay for it, but there's a lunch every day. |
| 1:10.1 | And that's what they eat. And so my kids, I noticed we're getting in the car every day and they were so put out. And they're |
| 1:15.8 | like, oh, there's nothing to eat. The food's so bad. And I mean, there's, you guys, there's like a |
| 1:19.8 | salad bar. There's like a sandwich bar was listening to them. I'm like, |
| 1:28.5 | you know what? That's just disrespectful all around. It's disrespectful of the people who are |
| 1:31.8 | planning the meals that are preparing the meals to your parents who are paying for the meals. |
| 1:35.9 | And like, I'm done with that. No more of that. And so it kind of became comical because their |
