Identity is a hot topic nowadays. Where are we and our kids to turn for direction and answers? Where are we to turn for truth? God’s Word.
No matter what questions may come up now or in the future, the principles and truths in God’s Word stand firm forever. We can trust what He says about who our kids are and where their worth comes from. We can point them to God when this world tempts them to question who they are at every turn. When we point them to God and His Word, we’re laying a foundation that will last them throughout their lifetime.
And that is the most important thing. Identity is the hot topic today, but twenty years from now there will be another. We want our kids to always know where to turn for truth no matter what questions may arise during their lifetime.

Father, may our children know that no matter what mistakes they have made, when they are in you, sin no longer rules over them. By your grace, you declare them free and fully yours in Christ.
Ephesians 1:4-5
Father, you tell us and our children that we are loved, chosen, adopted, and without fault in your eyes through the work of Jesus. Please help us to believe these truths and help them to sink deep into our hearts.
Colossians 1:22
Father, may our children know they are reconciled to you holy, blameless, and without fault. May the world’s labels not stick to them. Instead, may your truth penetrate deep into their hearts.
Zephaniah 3:17
Father, may our children know that you love them and rejoice over them with joyful songs. May the truth of your love and the music of your song drown out the other voices in their lives.

Is there an available download of the first few days? I just saw this tonight and I ordered the book from Amazon but it says it won’t be here until May 13.
Hi Kristi! You could download a sample of the Kindle version onto your Kindle or Kindle app! That might help!
Could elaborate on what it looks like to “keep your child’s heart”
I’ll do the best I can, but my mentor Ruth, was so much better at it 🙂 I think at it’s core it just means to keep relationship with your child. As they grow up, the relationship changes. It should. But it doesn’t have to end. Having your child’s heart means they trust you, want to come to you, and will listen to you even if they decide to do something different from you. They value you. This isn’t something that comes naturally…it’s something we have to work for. I hope this helps!
