Summary
It’s hard to believe that way back on September 13th of last year we began praying our kids through the school year and that today is our last day!
We’ve prayed for our kids to have connection, purpose, salvation, humility, and countless other attributes of our faith. Many of you have been with me each step of the way as we’ve asked the Lord to stand in the gap of our parenting while also drawing our kids to him. I’m so grateful.
This week is our very last week of the school year, and Bunmi Laditan is joining us to wrap it up. Please, please don’t miss this last week because Bunmi is amazing and you will love her. Also we are finishing up our year talking about why we pray for our kids, how to do it well, and how to respond even when we don’t see the answers we are praying for.
Bunmi has a new book out this summer on prayer, and it would be a great way to pray for your kids the next few months before we kick things off again in September. Speaking of the next school year, (drum roll please) we’re praying the Psalms over our kids, and I cannot wait to see how God uses this study to lead our families closer to him.
So thank you for praying with me this school year. Thank you for always sharing these podcasts with your friends and small groups. And thank you for allowing Pardon the Mess to speak into your parenting each week. I’m truly blessed to walk the road with each of you who want to love the Lord well in your parenting.
P.S. The prayer journal for the 2022-2023 school year will be available starting in July. Listen to Pardon the Mess on Thursdays for more information on how to grab a copy for you and your friends.

| 0:03.5 | Hey, guys, it's Cynthia, welcome to partner us. |
| 0:18.1 | I'm glad you're joining us for, believe it or not, our very last week of our prayer journal. |
| 0:23.5 | And it is week 38 and we are praying God-sized dreams for our kids. |
| 0:28.5 | And so the verse in the prayer journal is Jeremiah 29-11, for I know the plans I have for you declare, Lord, plans to prosper, you not to harm you, plans to give you a hope in a future. And this is one of the |
| 0:37.6 | verses I think we all cling to. We all love. I think it's also one of the most misinterpreted or |
| 0:42.9 | difficult verses. Sometimes when you're walking through hard places, you go back to this verse. And so |
| 0:47.5 | there's a lot behind it that some we will cover, some we won't. But what i want to do is just end this school year well and encourage you as we |
| 0:55.1 | go into the summer and praying for our kids and as we pray for our kids and we pray the god-sized |
| 0:59.9 | dreams we have to trust that god has a plan and his plan is not typically our plan and what looks |
| 1:05.8 | like harm to us is not often harm to him because he seems from he's seeing us from internal perspective and he loves us in |
| 1:12.8 | that way. And so I'm so thankful today because as you'll know, I bring on people I love sometimes |
| 1:18.7 | on this podcast to pray with us and talk with us. And in the last week of the podcast, I really |
| 1:23.1 | always want someone that can encourage us. And so you guys, we have Boomy Laotototone with us today, |
| 1:29.1 | but I just said your last name wrong, didn't I? Lattitin. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, |
| 1:32.8 | you're above. So it's hard for people. It's okay. You did great. Well, thank you. Well, welcome. And I'm just so glad the Lord gave you to me at this perfect time for this last podcast. Welcome. |
| 1:45.3 | Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here. Okay. So I heard someone on my, |
| 1:49.8 | someone said on my podcast recently, and I should know who it was, but I can't remember right now. |
| 1:53.4 | But they said when you're a young parent, you write how to parent books. And when you've parented for a while, your kids get older, |
| 2:00.9 | you write prayer books on parenting. And I was like, amen to that, right? Yeah. And so you and I |
| 2:06.8 | have both been writing how to pray for your kids books because we parented long enough to know |
| 2:10.8 | that we got nothing on how to on the parenting, but we are learning to pray. And so you've got a new one out. Help me, God. I'm a parent. And it's honest |
