Prayers For Parents: Vision & Provision

Gods Vision and Plan for Your Homeschool
Father, Your Word says, Unless the Lord builds the
house, its builders labor in vain. It also says, You
can make many plans, but the Lords purpose will
prevail. So, we ask You, first of all, for Your vision
and plan for our homeschool. We purpose to obey
completely and to follow Your plan for our family.
In Jesus Name, Amen. (Ps. 127:1 NIV; Pr. 19:21 NLT)
Wisdom & Understanding
Father, as we undertake a new school year in our
home, we ask that You would give us spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that we might grow in
our knowledge of You. We ask You to give us a
complete understanding of what You want to do
in our lives, so the way we live will always honor
and please You. In Jesus Name, Amen. (Eph. 1:17 NLT;
Col. 1:9-10 NLT)

Guidance to Make the Right Decision

Father, please help us to make the right decisions
for our family concerning our homeschool, learning methods, and curriculum choices. I ask You to
lead us in the right path. Tell us clearly what to do,
and show us which way to turn. In Jesus Name,
Amen. (Ps. 5:8 NLT)
Strength
Father, although I may feel very weak or inadequate homeschooling my children, Your Word
says, Let the weak say, I am strong. Therefore, I
align myself with Your Word. I believe that You are
the Strength of my life. I am strong in You, Lord,
and in the power of Your might. I can do all things
through Christ who strengthens me. Thank You for
Your strength as I homeschool my children. In

Financial Provision
Father, I thank You for promising that if we would
honor You with our finances by tithing and joyfully
giving, that You would bless us abundantly. Right
now, I stop worrying and stressing about our finances because You know what we need, and I believe You will provide for our family. I determine to
seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness,
and I know that all the things we need (finances,
food, clothing, shelter, curriculum, supplies, etc.)
will be given to us. You are always faithful to supply
all our needs according to Your riches in glory by
Christ Jesus! In Jesus Name, Amen. (Mal. 3:10 KJV; 2 Cor.
