(This first paragraph is background information)

My big brother has had a big problem with an addiction to League of Legends. I didn't realize how severe it was until he came home for Thanksgiving. Over the past 3 years of him moving back with us, he has greatly improved his gaming addiction to a level where he will not try and hide it at every moment. Despite this, he still falls for the temptation of opening that game or some other game.

Early on this month, he was caught several times playing League of Legends while testing for his certifications at home. What was threatened by one of our parents was he would be kicked out of our house if he does not get at least one certification out of three certifications done by the end of the month, and I do not think he could survive (he has a car that he could spend his nights in, but it would probably get towed). Seeing my brother homeless in our city (not big, but not super small) would really depress me and just the thought makes me want to cry. I have tried encouraging him and asking the Lord to appear in his dreams. Unfortunately, he says that it is too hard for him to correctly answer and it seems that he is just ready to give up.

My parents have threatened him with being kicked out several times, which have always ended up in unbearable angry screaming from my Dad and Mom, and one time this year, the Lord has saved my brother from being kicked out in one bad situation (the door was open and Dad was like 'Grab your coat and leave us now!' 'We are DONE! We have given you too many second chances!!' While my big brother was begging to stay. He did grab his coat and nearly started to leave, but I prayed and the Lord took action immediately).

Please pray for my brother that he can complete his certification on time and for my parents to realize that no matter how many times they have given second chances, they can always give him another second chance. After all, he has gone through a massive transformation.

Thank you.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.

I would like to thank everyone who has prayed for our family. I did discover yesterday that Mom said that since my brother has undergone major transformations, he could probably stay in our house. However, even though this has all been said and done, it could change any time. There was a small screaming (just one person getting slightly upset with my brother, more than likely telling him to go upstairs and leave his laptop downstairs for bedtime) last night, which is proof that the Lord can give and take away. I would like to thank everyone whom prayed for my brother.

Praise the Lord.
