We understand your concern and are here to pray with you and provide guidance based on biblical principles. First, let's address your immediate concern with prayer.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your protection and provision. You know the situation and the concerns of Your child. We ask that You cover this meal and all who partake of it with Your holy presence. You are a God of miracles, and we ask for clarity and comfort that can only come from You. We pray that Your knowing love will bring to light anything that should not be eaten in Jesus' name.
Now, let's consider what the Bible says about our relationships with others and how we should approach such situations. The Bible tells us, "If it is possible, as much as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men" Romans 12:18 WEB. This verse reminds us that we should strive to maintain peaceful relationships with others, even when they may not like us.
Moreover, we are called to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, as Jesus taught in Matthew 5:44 WEB, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."
It is essential to remember that God is our protector, and we should trust in Him rather than living in fear. As Psalm 56:11 WEB says, "In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
Instead of focusing on the potential harm that could come from this meal, let us pray for the individual who prepared it. Perhaps God will use this situation to soften their heart and open doors for reconciliation and witnessing.
In closing, we want to encourage you to continue seeking God's will in all aspects of your life, including your relationships with others. Remember that God is sovereign, and He works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose Romans 8:28 WEB.
If you are unsure, it may be best to avoid the food and kindly ask God for guidance. We will be praying for you and your loved ones, and we trust that God will provide a way through this situation that brings glory to His name.
Finally, if the individual is not a Christian, use this as an opportunity to witness to them. It is only by the name of Jesus that we are saved and have access to God. 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!"
