A prayer for the homeschooler

In response to the post arguing both sides of the school tears, a cherished KidsROCK member suggested prayer.  How blessed I am by these lovely ladies who remind me to take all things to Him in confident humility—knowing beyond doubt that he can handle all things better than I can.

So I pray.

Father, please come alongside every homeschooler this morning.  Nudge the teachers with your loving presence.  Wash your Spirit over us, so that we might bear your fruit of patience (and love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.)  Help us to lead by example.

Give us wisdom to know when to push, when to relent, when to change tack and how to reach each very special child in our care. 

Thank you for the gift that is our little people.  Thank you for the privilege to raise them and teach them.  Please bolster our family to continue on the path you’ve set before us.  Please save us from distraction and worry.  Help us to leave our worries and burdens at your feet.

In your Son’s holy name, Amen
