Prayer of grace before meals
We're so used to our food being there that when it's not, we don't even miss it. Open your heart and express gratitude for what God provides every day - even if you think they are basic needs!
Dear Lord,
I am grateful for this food before me, and the journey it took to get here.
I am thankful for their nourishment and the energy it will provide me to continue to be my best self.
I am grateful for the flavors, the smells and the people who were able to grow this food.
May they be blessed with love and light.
Thank you for meeting my physical need of hunger and thirst, and may you forgive me for taking such a simple thing for granted, each and every day.
To have food be available is a miracle, as we live in a world where many have nothing, and even a fraction of what I have would be a feast.
May those who are struggling to find food, or eat well be blessed with health and happiness over the coming days, and may their needs be met with equal gratitude.
Thank you.
Amen.
