Summary
Did you pick a word of the year for 2023?
I don’t always do it, but this year I knew “pause” was my word because it kept coming to my mind whenever I would hear someone else mention their own word. The last few months I’ve felt the Lord lay it on my heart that I needed to learn to slow down and wait on him. Said differently, I need to learn to “pause” before . . . . .
I speak
I judge
I accept
I respond
I plan
I react
I engage
I assume
Isaiah 30:18 says, in part, “blessed are those who wait on the Lord.” So if blessing comes from waiting on God, I’m pretty confident that my year of “pausing” won’t go to waste.
This also goes along perfectly with Psalm 66 and our focus on praying for our kids to communicate well with the Lord. We’re not only praying they take all of their needs to Jesus, but also that they learn to wait on him and allow God to work in their lives before moving forward in their own plans. It’s “pausing” so that God can do the things that only God can do.
Lots to pray for this week, so “pause” for a minute and pray with me!

| 0:03.5 | Hey guys, welcome to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:16.0 | I'm glad you're with us today. |
| 0:17.1 | We are praying for our kids prayer life. |
| 0:20.1 | So we're praying about prayer, which |
| 0:21.8 | sounds kind of funny, but we're going to dig into this. And I am thrilled that we're |
| 0:25.8 | praying about this so early in the year. And we're talking out prayer because this is a great |
| 0:29.4 | time to make sure we're on track and that we are really working on our prayer life with the |
| 0:34.7 | Lord. And I kind of feel like I'm preaching to the choir because you're listening to this. So obviously, you know the significance of prayer. But let's just |
| 0:41.5 | dig in a little bit. And I feel like this is a great time to do it because I don't know about you. |
| 0:45.9 | My kids are finally back in school. And this is the first week where I've had time to slow down |
| 0:50.0 | and think and assess. And so as we do that, it's a good time to stop and slow down and think about |
| 0:55.8 | our prayer life. And so our key Psalm this week is Psalm 66. And the verses we're focused on are |
| 1:02.1 | Psalm 66, 16, 17, and 19. Come in here all you who fear God. Let me tell you what he's done for me. |
| 1:09.9 | I cried out to him with my mouth. His praise |
| 1:12.5 | was on my tongue, but God has surely listened and he has heard my prayer. Now we're going to get |
| 1:18.1 | back to that in just a minute, but I want to talk about the whole concept of prayer. If you're |
| 1:22.4 | like me when you think about improving your prayer life, you think about making better lists or |
| 1:27.3 | prayer journals or places to write down what you're going to pray about, being more consistent, you think about making better lists or prayer journals or places |
| 1:28.3 | to write down what you're going to pray about, being more consistent, going to God with your |
| 1:31.8 | every need, more often these daily conversations. All those are good things. I like this whole |
