A Prayer For Hard Work

In this episode, we reflect on the importance of teaching and modeling a strong work ethic for our children. School isn’t easy for every child (or parent!), and sometimes the daily struggle with homework, focus, and motivation can feel exhausting.

Tara Cole helps us learn from Joseph’s early life in Genesis 37, and we’re reminded that diligence and persistence matter—not just for grades today but for shaping the character of tomorrow.

Reference: Proverbs 14:23

Prayer: Lord, may our children work hard this school year so they may grow and prosper. In Jesus' name, amen.
