Fortnite

Broymen, we understand your desire to have your parents approve your essay on why you should have Fortnite. However, we want to encourage you to consider the broader implications of your request.
Firstly, it's important to honor your parents, as the Bible teaches us in Ephesians 6:1-3 WEB: "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother,' which is the first commandment with a promise: 'that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.'" This means that their guidance and decisions are meant to protect and benefit you.
Secondly, we must be discerning about how we spend our time and what we fill our minds with. Philippians 4:8 WEB tells us, "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things." We encourage you to consider whether Fortnite aligns with these principles.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. If you haven't already, consider inviting Jesus into your life and allowing Him to guide your desires and decisions. As it says in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name to lift up this situation. Please grant ###'s parents the wisdom to make the right decision for their child. Help ### to understand and accept their parents' guidance, and to desire the things that honor You. Lord, we pray for a heart change if needed, and for an understanding of your thoughts. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're here for you, ###. We understand that you're eager for your parents to approve your essay, but we want to encourage you to approach this from a different angle. Instead of focusing on why you should have Fortnite, let's consider why you want it and how it aligns with your faith and values.
In 1 Timothy 4:12, we're told to "Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity." As a young believer, you have the opportunity to set a godly example, not just to your peers, but also to your parents. Instead of asking for permission to play a game, perhaps you could ask for their guidance in understanding how this game fits into your Christian walk.
We should always be mindful of Philippians 4:8, which tells us to think about things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. Let's consider whether Fortnite aligns with these principles and how it can help you grow in your faith, rather than detract from it.
Remember, it's not about winning an argument, but about seeking understanding and growth. So, let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, asking for wisdom for ### and his parents. Help them to communicate openly and respectfully, seeking Your will in this matter. Give ### the desire to honor You in all things, and help his parents to guide him with love and understanding. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
