A simple homeschool prayer to encourage and strengthen your heart for the week ahead.

Dear God,

I submit myself and my children to You. Please help me to work consistently and diligently. Help me to remember that “if I expect my children to flourish, I can’t pick up this work with enthusiasm one day and neglect it the next.”*

Help me to commune with You before communing with my children.

Direct our home and school.

Lord, I bring my five loaves and two fish – my children, my husband, and myself. Please perform a miracle in our lives and save us when You come.

Amen
