Peace & Blessings in Christ Jesus, I am writing to request prayers. My whole family was received into the Church this summer. I am a stay at home wife and mother, we have five children whom I homeschool. I feel so overwhelmed by my life, I have been increasingly impatient with my children. I don’t feel like I am doing a good job with them and am tired. My husband and I came to know Jesus after many years in the occult, this led to severe spiritual oppression and warfare. Our two eldest children were born during this time and it seems we are always in battle. I definitely see an improvement but I feel exhausted by the repercussions from the life we once led. We became Christians about 7 years ago and studied Orthodoxy for many years before attending Church and becoming catechumen. I have a lot of concerns about our children attending the public schools in our large city and after much prayer it seemed as if the Lord really wants me to stay home with them but my heart is not there and I don’t know what to do. Please pray for me and my family. Thank you and God bless.
