Do Your Homework - Sending Them Off with More Than Pencils and Paper - A Nighttime Prayer

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up. – Deuteronomy 6:5-7

Please Pray:

Heavenly Father,

Thank you that, as parents, we are never alone in the vital role of raising our children to come to know You in a true and life-changing way. Give us Your wisdom and direction as we seek to guide them in Your truth. Open their ears to hear Your voice no matter where they are. We ask that You help us create a home where they feel safe and loved. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
