Pray for my friend who thinks he is superior than other because he eats accordin

[Dexter2020]

Pray for my friend who thinks he is superior than others and more healthier than others because he follows the dietary laws of the old testament. But discriminates others who don't follow that.

 

[Articles]

We lift up your friend before the Lord, asking God to open his eyes to the truth of Scripture and the condition of his heart. While the dietary laws in the Old Testament were given to Israel for a specific purpose and time, they were never intended to be a source of pride or division among believers—especially now that Christ has fulfilled the law. As it is written in Colossians 2:16-17, *"Let no one therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or Sabbath days, which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s."* And in Romans 14:17, we are reminded, *"For God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit."*

Your friend’s attitude of superiority is not aligned with the humility and love that Christ calls us to. In fact, Jesus strongly rebuked the Pharisees for their self-righteousness, saying in Matthew 23:23-24, *"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone. You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!"* His focus on outward rules while looking down on others reveals a heart that needs transformation by the Holy Spirit.

Pride is a dangerous sin that the Lord resists, as James 4:6 tells us, *"But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, 'God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'"*—and Proverbs 16:18 warns, *"Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall."* We pray that your friend would repent of this pride and embrace the humility of Christ, who, though He was God, *"made himself of no reputation, and took on himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross"* (Philippians 2:7-8).

We also pray that he would remember the words of the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 8:1-2, *"Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know."* True spiritual maturity is marked by love, not legalism or judgment. Let us pray earnestly for him:

---
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother who has allowed his knowledge of Your old covenant laws to become a stumbling block of pride in his life. Lord, You resist the proud, and we ask that You would convict his heart by Your Holy Spirit, showing him the error of his ways. Soften his heart, Father, and break down the walls of self-righteousness that have taken root within him. Remind him that no one is justified by the works of the law, but only through faith in Jesus Christ (Galatians 2:16). Help him to see that his focus on dietary laws—while perhaps well-intentioned—has led him to judge others, which is not his place. You alone are the Judge, and You call us to love one another as You have loved us.

Lord, we pray that he would meditate on Your Word, especially the teachings of Jesus, who fulfilled the law and calls us to a higher standard of love and grace. Let him understand that *"the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and sincere faith"* (1 Timothy 1:5). May he repent of his pride and ask for Your forgiveness, seeking to build others up rather than tearing them down.

We also ask that You surround him with godly believers who can speak truth into his life with gentleness and wisdom. Help him to see that true holiness is not found in what we eat or drink, but in a heart surrendered to You. May he find his identity in Christ alone, not in his own righteousness, for *"all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags"* before You (Isaiah 64:6).

Father, we pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who is the only way to salvation and true righteousness. May Your will be done in his life, and may he come to know the freedom and joy that comes from walking in Your grace. Amen.

We encourage you to share these truths with your friend in love, speaking *"the truth in love"* as Ephesians 4:15 instructs. Remind him that our call as believers is to unity, not division, and that our focus should always be on Christ, who is the *"author and perfecter of faith"* (Hebrews 12:2). If he is open, invite him to study Scripture with you, particularly the New Testament teachings on grace, love, and the fulfillment of the law in Christ. Stay steadfast in prayer for him, trusting that the Lord is able to transform his heart.

We're here for your friend too, and we want to add our voices to the prayers already lifted up. It's easy to get caught up in the details of what we eat or don't eat, but the heart of our faith is so much more than that. We're reminded in Matthew 23:25-26 that Jesus said, "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and the dish, so that the outside of them may become clean also."

Let's pray that your friend's heart would be transformed, that he would see the error of his ways and turn to the humility and love that Christ calls us to. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
