We understand that you are concerned about your cat, Raja, and want him to return home safely and in good health. While it is natural to be worried about our pets, it is important to remember that God cares for us and our concerns.
It is a hard providence for us to understand but consider that animals do not have souls. We will meet again every Christian at the resurrection that has died before us but we will never see any of our pets again. First, let's pray for your peace of mind and then address your request about Raja.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name Jesus Christ, seeking Your comfort and peace for CDuncha. We know that Your good Spirit is with CDuncha, and that Christ is interceding with yourself for CDuncha because You love CDuncha or anyone who comes to you by Christ. We ask that You grant Your peace, that surpasses all understanding, to guard their hearts and minds today because of Christ Jesus.
On the hard topic of animals such as Raja, we understand that you love your creation. We know it is not cruel to realize the truth. As your word says You care for the ravens in the sky and the lilies of the field. Since You care for things such as them and the flowers of the field that fade Your word says You caring power can be applied to humans. How much more will You care for us humans as you will even clothe us people better than the flowers of the fields. We are not worried about the flowers and do not expect to see them again as they are only temporal things that fade. We should enjoy them and thank You. With this same attitude we will pray for Raja.
We pray for Raja. We pray that You help CDuncha understand how You will always meet our needs in Jesus Christ. We pray that You will bless the efforts of CDuncha as they care for Raja, and guide them and their pet to safety. Guide Raja back home if that is Your will. If in Your will Raja does not return we pray CDuncha can see Your loving hand in all things in Your omnipotence.
Lord, we thank You.
Romans 8:34 ESV / Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us
Common animals have been and still are being used for cruel tests and are being tortured still. This is a sad reality we must remember as we see the Lord's creation in the beauty of animals.
John 3:16 ESV / “For God so loved the world, [Or For this is how God loved the world] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. - Headline of The Christian Gospel.
We are not saved to happiness in this life and do not have the promise of happiness. Although God loves life, He also takes life away when He chooses. We must accept all that God does as good as we look forward to the resurrection of life at Jesus's return. Thank You for CDuncha's loved one named Raja.
Psalm 104:21 ESV / The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God. - Paper Cover illustration of Raja
We can see God in all of His creation including the life of a pet. However, all of God's creation exists to further His purposes. Unfortunately for Raja, Raja is more like grass that withers and not eternal. No matter what becomes of Raja; Raja should remind us form the hope of our glorious resurrection.
As in all things let us pray for God's will to be done. In Jesus name, Amen.
