Do you believe in praying over your food?
Hope your answer is yes, because its indeed important. Before Jesus fed the 5000, the bible says that he took the bread and the fish and gave thanks. He gave us a perfect example, since we are called to live like Christ. Praying before you eat is an act of gratitude. The bible also tells us to give thanks in everything that we do. Provision for food is a blessing that is often underrated by many.
Here are a few words of prayer you can say over your food, before you eat:
- Father, I bless your name for this food.
- Thank you for provision.
- I ask that you bless the hands that prepared this food and bless (name) for being creative.
- I cover this food and everything here with the blood of Jesus Christ.
- As I eat, no evil shall befall me/us.
- May it be nourishing to my/our bodies in Jesus name, AMEN.
It is good to teach the kids the importance of praying before we eat, they’ll never depart from it even when they are old. When we are grateful in the little things, the Lord will entrust us with even greater.
Hope you were blessed!
