Summary
This week we’re praying for our kids to be marked by a heart that longs to serve those around them. Not only are we literally serving Jesus when we do so, but we get a beautiful new perspective on life.
There are so many ways to serve others well, but we’ll focus our time on praying that our kids share the gospel, befriend the marginalized, and actively find ways to serve others in our homes and our churches.
We’re also going to spend time praying for Ukraine this week. It feels overwhelming and oftentimes words even fail us. But with all that’s going on in the world, we can trust that where two or more are gathered—the Lord is with us and hears us.
Thank you for being so faithful to pray with us each week. Pray for your kids’ eyes to be opened to the needs around them so that serving others becomes second nature in their daily lives.

| 0:19.0 | We are praying for our kids. |
| 0:21.6 | Before we do that, though, I want to read you a quick review from iTunes because it encouraged me, made me laugh, |
| 0:26.4 | and I think it will encourage you as well. And so Bailey 23 said, I don't subscribe to many |
| 0:30.9 | podcasts because it stresses me out if I can't keep up. Amen to that. I subscribe to this one |
| 0:35.8 | after two episodes. I love everything about it and the prayers |
| 0:38.2 | for my kids brings me to tears of gratitude every time. I listen at work, but I feel like I'm part |
| 0:42.3 | of a parking lot prayer group. And so here, here to the parking lot prayer group. For all of |
| 0:46.8 | those of you who are sitting in a parking lot right now, thanks for doing this and praying with us |
| 0:51.4 | and whether you're at work, whatever you're doing. I'm just thankful each week that we have so many people praying for their kids together. And so this week we're |
| 0:58.3 | praying service for our kids. And we're going to root this in 1st Peter 410. That's the verse in the |
| 1:03.9 | prayer journal. Each of you should use whatever gift you've received to serve others as faithful |
| 1:09.1 | stewards of God's grace in its various forms. |
| 1:12.6 | And so let's talk about that for a minute. Why do we serve? Well, we serve because we are serving |
| 1:18.5 | the Lord when we do it. Also because we're commanded to do that. And I love in this particular |
| 1:23.1 | verse, it says, use whatever gifts you've been given. What are the gifts that have been given |
| 1:26.7 | our kid, whether those are our kids, whether those are spiritual gifts, whether those are physical or monetary, |
| 1:32.2 | whatever those gifts are. Use them to serve others out of grace. The grace the Lord's shown over us. |
