Discerning God’s Will for Your Child’s Education

📖 Introduction

Parenthood is one of the most significant callings we experience, filled with joy, responsibility, and deep challenges. Among the many decisions parents face, choosing the right education path for their child is both crucial and complex. Should you enroll your child in public school, private school, or a Christian school? How can you discern God’s will amidst so many options?

Every parent wants the best for their child educationally, socially, and spiritually. Public schools often provide diverse environments and strong academic programs, while private schools may offer specialized curricula or nurturing atmospheres. Christian schools promise integrated spiritual formation alongside academics. But how do we hear God’s voice clearly and avoid making this choice based on anxiety, trends, or peer pressure?

This study invites you to approach this decision through prayerful reflection on Scripture, trusting that God’s wisdom provides guidance beyond what this world offers. Each day, we’ll explore biblical principles related to parenting, wisdom, trust in God, and the role of community, helping you frame your choice through a kingdom perspective.

Remember, no matter what educational setting you choose, your primary ministry as a parent is to train your child in the Lord's way and model Christ’s love every day. As you study, consider how God may be prompting you to pray, trust, advocate, or grow in faith through this season. Let your heart be open to how God will lead your family’s journey.

By the end of this week, may you rest assured that with God’s guidance, you’re making the best choice for your child's growth academically, socially, and most importantly, spiritually.
