Prayers for Every Need: Grace at Meals

Prayers for Every Need: Grace at Meals

“Pray without ceasing,” the apostle Paul said. In prayer, we draw close to God and provide an opening for Him to enter our lives with healing, wisdom and blessing. Please keep in mind that there is a prayer for every need. Even yours.

Grace at Meals

God, thank you for all the good things in our life—food, loved ones, our home and the little things we take for granted. We owe it all to you. Thank you. Amen.

God, we give you thanks for the delicious food on our table, for the loved ones gathered around, and for you, who make it all possible. We are humbly grateful. Amen.

Heavenly Father, for food and drink and health and strength and love and salvation we give you thanks. Amen.

God, grant that everyone gathered around our table may be strengthened by the food you have given us. Inspire us by fellowship with one another and with you. Amen.

Lord, bless this food to our use and us to your service. Amen.

God, many hands made this meal possible. Farmers grew it. Truckers drove it. Grocers sold it. We prepared it. Bless all those hands, and help us always remember our dependence on you. Amen.

Father, we thank you for this food and ask you to be with us as we share it. Help us go forth to serve you renewed and strengthened by your bounty. Amen.

God, we thank you for your great goodness in providing this food. Make us mindful of those who have less. And help us use our many blessings to aid those in need. Amen.
