Ep. BONUS : Praying for our kids: Marked by God’s presence

The entire theme of this year’s prayer journal is built around the notion of being “marked” by the things of God. 

In a culture that threatens to mark our kids with anxiety, depression, and social media inundation (and in the midst of a pandemic), we’re praying that our kids will be supernaturally marked only by the things of God.

This week we’re praying for arguably the most significant “marking” in our kids’ lives: that they will be marked by God’s presence. 

The presence of God is a core message from Genesis, with Adam and Eve in the garden, all the way to Revelation and the promise of all eternity with God. Living in God’s presence is significant for our kids because it’s assurance that they are never overlooked, unseen, or insignificant. 

We can find joy no matter what we’re facing in this world because of the presence of Jesus in our lives. 

Join me in praying this over our kids this week.
