Prayer before eating

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we gather to partake of this meal, We come before you with hearts full of gratitude. Thank you for the food before us, And for the nourishment it provides for our bodies.

Bless this food to our bodies' use, And may it strengthen us for the tasks ahead. Grant us the wisdom to use our strength for good, And to serve others with love and compassion.

May this meal be a reminder of your abundant provision, And may it foster gratitude and generosity in our hearts. Bless those who prepared this food, And those who have worked to bring it to our table.

In Jesus name, we pray.

Amen.
