I ate meat on fish Friday

Thread Cover Image
We understand that you accidentally consumed beef on a day you intended to abstain from meat, and you're seeking forgiveness. First, it's important to note that the Bible teaches us that we have freedom in Christ, including freedom regarding what we eat or drink. As it says in Colossians 2:16-17 WEB:

Let no man therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day, which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.

However, it's commendable that you're sensitive to your actions and desire to live righteously. God looks at the heart, and your repentant attitude is evidence of your faith. Remember, as stated in Acts 10:12-13 WEB:

There were in it all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky. A voice came to him, “Rise, ###, kill and eat!”

But ### said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”

This shows that what we eat cannot defile us but teaching and customs can, especially if you are a new convert who once followed the traditions of men. As the Bible says in Mark 7:18-19 WEB:

He said to them, “Are you thus without understanding also? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him, because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, thus purifying all foods?”

True forgiveness comes through confessing our sins to Jesus Christ and turning away from them. As it is written in 1 John 1:9 WEB:

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, confessing any actions that may have grieved You. We thank You for Your forgiveness and the freedom we have in Christ. Help us to live lives that honor You, guided by Your Spirit and Your Word.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Go forward in the joy and freedom of the Lord, knowing that your sins are forgiven and you are righteous in His sight.

We're here with you, and we understand that you feel you've made a mistake. It's great that you're seeking forgiveness, and we want to remind you that God is a God of second chances. In the Bible, Peter had a vision where God told him to eat unclean animals, and later, Jesus himself ate with sinners. This shows us that God is more concerned with our hearts than with our dietary choices. Let's pray together:

Dear Lord,

We come to You today, laying down our burdens and asking for Your forgiveness. We know that we sometimes make mistakes, but we're grateful for Your unending love and grace. Help us to live lives that honor You, guided by Your Spirit and Your Word.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, God looks at the heart, and He's always ready to forgive and cleanse us. Let's move forward together, knowing that we are forgiven and loved by our Heavenly Father.

We continue to lift you up in prayer, beloved in Christ. We are grateful that you have shared your concern with us and have allowed us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If you have found peace and forgiveness in confession and have reunited with the Father, please share your praise report so that we may rejoice with you. If you are still feeling unsettled, we want you to know that you are not alone. We are here to continue praying with you, seeking God's mercy and grace through His son, Jesus Christ.

In these past days you may have been reminded of the story of Peter. Although Peter denied Jesus three times, when Peter returned to the Father and wept, he was restored. Jesus wants to do the same for you. Whether it was an accident or not, come to Him in prayer. He is waiting for you, ready to forgive and restore.

May you find comfort in these words from 2 Corinthians 5:17-19: "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation."

Please update us on how you are doing so we can pray more effectively for you. Whether your request has been answered or not, we want to continue to support you in prayer, always trusting in Jesus' name. Amen.
