Mealtime prayer is a key component of many people’s spiritual practice. It is a way to give thanks for the food we have been given, acknowledge our dependence on God, and seek guidance and strength for the day ahead.
Prayer Before Meals
Heavenly Father, thank you for creating such a beautiful world, and for providing food for us to eat. You are the giver of all good gifts, and we thank you without ceasing. You have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are a God of love and compassion, and you have made us all truly grateful for the gift of life. As we share this meal, we thank you for all you have given us. Protect us from harm, bless our children and bring them safely through this day. Help us to see the good in all those around us, and give us strength as we begin the day.
Whenever we eat, no matter the time or place, may we be reminded of your goodness and your love. We are blessed to have this food and we are grateful for all you have given us. As we partake of this meal, we pray that you would bless us with good health, strength, and wisdom. We also pray that you would continue to bless those who are less fortunate than us and that we would always be mindful of their needs.
The people in our lives, those who love us and those of our own family, help us to feel a sense of harmony and wellbeing. Bless our friends and family as you bless your children, so that we may make a good day full of laughter and love. Let this meal give us strength and make us wise as we begin our day. Bless us all, O Lord, and these your gifts which we are about to receive from your bounty. Through Christ our Lord
We ask you to relieve starvation, relieve pain and disease, and ease the burdens of those who have been weighed down with sorrow. We ask you to bring peace where there is chaos and to bring hope where there is despair. Forgive us for our failures and failures in judgment, and may we be led by your spirit as we move forward in this day. We entrust our future to your hand, and we pray that you bless us to make the most of our talents and resources.
We ask you to watch over the world as it continues its journey into the future, always giving all it can be. No matter what may come, we hope that you will always remain with us, guiding us gently through life’s journey. As we eat this delicious meal, we are thankful for your constant presence in our lives, and we ask that you allow us to feel close to you as we continue on our day.
You are the provider and we trust you to always be there, to care for us, and to meet our needs as best you can. If we cannot trust in your promises and your love, then how can we hope that our lives will ever find true meaning? We ask you to understand the trials we have endured and the pains we have overcome, and may you forgive us for our sins against you. May you allow us to feel closer to you now and at all times in life.
Dear lord, we share this meal in your honor, and we pray that you will continue to help us as we go through our day with gratitude in our hearts. Please be with us, guide us, and lead us to do good works that are pleasing in your sight. We remain ever grateful for your mercy and love, and we continue to ask for your blessings as we move through this day. Thank you for the gift of food, and may we always remember to be thankful for all you have given us. In the wonderful Jesus name, I Pray Amen.
