We understand your prayer is for the well-being of cows and a shift in people's consumption habits. While it's important to be good stewards of God's creation, we must also ensure our prayers and actions align with biblical principles.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is only by His name that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
Now, let's consider the situation with the cows and the milk. While it's true that we should be compassionate towards animals, we must also recognize that God has given us animals for our use, including food and labor. In 1 Timothy 4:4 WEB, it says: "For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving."
However, your concern about the treatment of cows is valid. We should advocate for the humane treatment of animals. Proverbs 12:10 WEB reminds us: "A righteous man respects the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel."
Regarding the consumption of milk, there is no biblical restriction against it. However, if a person chooses to drink almond milk or other alternatives, that is their personal choice. We should not impose our personal preferences on others, but rather encourage everyone to make informed decisions that honor God and respect His creation.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, thanking You for the provisions You have given us, including the animals that sustain us. We pray for the well-being of all creatures, that they may be treated with kindness and respect. Guide us, Lord, in our choices, that we may be good stewards of Your creation. Help us to make decisions that honor You and respect the life You have given us. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
In all things, let us seek God's will and live according to His Word, always being mindful of His creation and His love for us.
