I need intercessors and warriors of prayer please.

My bother has come home from prison for the 5th time. It’s been less than 30 days and already he as used drugs at least twice. He has struggled with addictions, crack cocaine, marijuana and alcohol for the better part of the last 8yrs. As of yesterday my mom’s tv was gone out of the house and she and my dad found my brother in a drug house crying. Stating he needed help. (Already this is God as he has not admitted theft or needing help before now.) However, the county he lives in has no residential openings for treatment. We as a family have no resources to pay for treatment anywhere and he of course has no money of or insurance of his own.

My family is now at a loss. He of course cannot return home my stepfather won’t have it after the theft of the tv. So this leaves him pretty much homeless to live in the drug house or wherever he can on the streets. I can’t take him in my husband won’t allow it as we have 3 children. Please pray for deliverance from drugs, strength for all of us and that favor will be shown that somehow, somewhere, someway a residential program will accept him.

I know he is saved but of course has not walked with God for many years now. I keep telling myself God has not brought him this far for this to be the end. That he has not spared him only to waste what’s inside. I pray that one day God will get the glory out of all of this. He is highly intelligent and is talented in many areas of art and music. I don’t think that God has spared his life numerous times for nothing. I mean the man has narrowly made it through multiple car wrecks, gun shots, cuts etc. Where each time I can clearly see God’s grace and mercy has spared him. I truly believe one day his mess with be his message and his test will be his testimony it’s just waiting for that day to come and dealing with the torment of it that we all go through in the mean time.

My shame and pride of the situation pains me to expose this and request prayer even anonymously, but my brother’s life in the balance over comes that at least in part I guess. For I feel if something does not happen soon no matter if it’s overdose or injury we will look up one day to find him dead.

Please, pray, we so desperately need miracles.
