Dear Lord,
May I teach them what You want them to know
and in turn, You will teach me what You want me to know.
Lord, let me remember my job is to point them to You, and not to this world.
Help me to guide them on the path that leads to You.
Give me the strength when I feel I have none..
when I don't feel like it... let me do it anyway.When I am tired...give me your divine energy to press on.
When I want to put myself first...let me remember Your words that I may be humble.
Let me do this for Your glory, and not mine.
Lord, show me each day the path we should take.
When I get off course, thank You for Your mercy in bringing me back.
Let me remember these children are Yours, and You love them even more than I do.
Let me be thankful for the gift of spending each day with them.
Let me remember it will go by in the blink of any eye.
The complaining isn't forever, the noise isn't forever, the mess isn't forever...
...but You are.
And that is my goal. That we may spend eternity in Your presence.
Let this homeschool glorify You, show You to those around us, and please You.
Let me not get caught up in doing things the world's way...but Your way.
Let me not be distracted with the noise of this world, from the true goals You have set.
Let me remember that the books are important, but Your Word is most important.
May I see my children as the blessing they are that You created. Each unique and special with a purpose to fulfill.
May I remember how blessed I am to be a homeschool mom.
In your name I pray.

Lord, we dedicate this year to You and rejoice in Your faithfulness to us. Thank you for calling us to educate our children at home. We accept this mission humbly, with a sense of eternal purpose and divine destiny. We declare that we are a people set apart, a chosen generation, that we may show forth Your praises.
We pray this year will be a season of great growth, productivity, and fullness, spiritually, emotionally, physically and intellectually. As we delight in Your Word, we shall be like a tree, planted by living waters ready to bring forth it's fruit in it's season, our leaves shall not wither, and all we do shall prosper and be successful!
Above all, Lord, we seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness. As the deer pants for the water, may our spirits long for You in a new way. May we be mindful to be a blessing to others, both in our household and in the family of God. Amen.
