A Prayer For Homeschool

A Prayer for Homeschool

O Jesus, who asked questions and told stories,

Help us teach our children to see the power of asking why

And to sit in the wonder of someone else’s story.

Help us kindle curiosity

When the world whispers there’s just one way.

Help us spark imagination

When the world prefers the way it has always been.

Help us fuel passion

When the world shouts that it’s easier not to care.

O Jesus, who wept and turned water into wine,

Help us teach children to weep with those who weep

And dance in the joy of those who rejoice.

Help us model empathy

When the world whispers, “Why bother?”

Help us clothe ourselves with compassion

When the world prefers a hard heart.

Help us embody love

When the world says some don’t deserve it.

O Jesus, who knows the aches of humanity,

We ask for Your help in teaching our children,

Knowing that if we want kids to be

Curious, imaginative, and passionate,

We must create space for it in our home;

Knowing that if we want kids to be

Empathetic, compassionate, and loving,

We must live it out ourselves.

Help us teach our children,

And help us learn from them too.

In Your name we pray,

Amen.
