Prayers for Mealtime

“Our Lord God, we thank you for all your blessings, for life and health, for laughter and fun, for all our powers of mind and body, for our homes and the love of dear ones, for everything that is beautiful, good and true. But above all we thank you for giving your Son to be our Savior and Friend. May we always find our true happiness in pleasing you and helping others to know and love you, for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.”

“God, Creator of the universe, you give us this gift of food to nourish us and give us life. Bless this food that you have made and human hands have prepared. May it satisfy our hunger, and in sharing it together may we come closer to one another. Amen.”

“Bless, O Lord, this food to our use and bless us to your service, and make us ever mindful of the needs of others; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

“For health and strength and daily food, we praise your name, O Lord.”
