Dearest Heavenly Father, I thank you and praise you and your Holy Name. You are Holy and the fountain of all Holiness, worthy to be worshiped.  Father, you are my shelter and my rock and my sole source of provision.  Remind me to look to you and only to you at all times and in all circumstances.  Where else can I go for all that I need?  Where else can I find the advice that I need, the advice that will sustain me, prosper me and not harm me?

Lord, as I begin my homeschooling journey, never let me forget that homeschooling is all about you.  I homeschool because of your mandate to do so.  I am your obedient servant, your daughter who loves you and lives to serve you.  As I gaze upon my precious children whom you have entrusted to my care, I am in awe of your love for all of us.  Thank you for loving me so much that you trust me with your creations, made in your image on purpose, and bought into this world as helpless, innocent children.  Fill my heart with your grace, love and forgiveness that I may parent my children as you parent me, Heavenly Father.

Our family's homeschooling journey will no doubt be filled with hills and valleys but help us to see the blessings in each circumstance that you send our way. Give us the perseverance, courage and wisdom to educate our children at home.

In Jesus name I pray.
