Summary
“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9 NIV).
I remember when my youngest son was at the age where you’d ask what he learned at church and it was always one word: Jesus. Like anything I would ask, he responded with “Jesus.”
What was your snack today? Jesus.
Did y’all go to the playground? Jesus.
Did you hit anyone (listen to earlier podcasts for more on that one)? Jesus.
But as they get older your prayer really does become that of all the things they can learn about in life, let it be Jesus. He’s their savior, comforter, redeemer, and only hope in a world that claims lots of paths to eternal life.
This week as we talk about our kids’ salvation, I can think of nothing more important to be praying over them. And if your kids have already trusted Jesus as their Savior, thank the Lord for that great blessing and then join us in praying for the kids around us who also need this same message of hope and eternal life.

| 0:03.5 | Hey guys, welcome to pardon the mess with Cynthia. |
| 0:17.2 | Glad you're joining us. |
| 0:18.5 | This week we're praying salvation for our kids. |
| 0:21.4 | And the verse in the prayer journal is Romans 10, 9, if you declare with your mouth, |
| 0:25.9 | Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. |
| 0:31.3 | And I'm just not sure there's a greater promise and greater sense of hope that we get in the gospel |
| 0:36.2 | than right there in those verses. |
| 0:39.3 | And so that makes this week so incredibly important of all the things we do for our kids |
| 0:44.0 | every single day, every single hour, all the things we prayed for them all year that we pray |
| 0:48.7 | most of their life. |
| 0:50.6 | Praying salvation is the greatest gift we can pray over them. |
| 0:53.9 | And so as I'm thinking through |
| 0:55.1 | salvation, it just led me to want to say that it's so important that we have a salvation |
| 0:59.2 | story that we know our own. Because when we know our own salvation story, we're able to share it |
| 1:04.5 | with our kids, share it with the people around us, our coworkers, whatever that is. It's important |
| 1:08.7 | that we can articulate it. And this comes at kind of |
| 1:11.5 | an interesting, kind of funny place for me because I don't have the traditional salvation |
| 1:17.8 | testimony, I don't think. And I feel like there's kind of two camps. Either you kind of grew up |
| 1:23.3 | Christian, but you knew one day you had to repent, you walk the aisle and you were baptized, whatever |
| 1:28.2 | your faith tradition is in that respect. And then you knew at that moment you're a Christian. |
