Dear Father,

We thank you so much for your love and grace today.  Please be with each homeschooling family represented here.

It is that time of year when we look forward to next year and we begin the diligent searching of material that will fit our family.  Father lead us to the things that our families need.  Remind us of the things we already have.

For as it says in the scriptures… “The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain.”  Proverbs 31:11

Help us to be wise in our decisions when it comes to homeschooling materials.  Help us not to overspend.  Help us not to covet things that others have that would put us into debt.

Father, forgive us for the times when we have not always followed the way in which you desire for us.  Forgive us for the times when we have overspent, when we have justified an unneeded purchase whether it was with homeschooling materials, food, home décor, or any number of items.

Thank you, Father, for your patience with us in this area.  May we learn to be diligent in the area of finances.

Amen.
