Remember when u were younger and U would always say your prayers before eating?? Do U still practice that or is it History?? Or did U ever practice it?? ~~As for moi, I used to all the time.I used to pray to God, Mary Magdalene, Peter, etc before eating when younger. ha-ha~~Crazy dayz. I have not done it for years.I need to start that old African tradition again. The prayer went something like this "God thank U for this food. Please let it nourish my body in Jesus Name.God,Mary,Joseph, etc come and join me. Amen" aww,I miss childhood. |

Praying before a meal is like a reflex to me, its inborn. |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by matiltomd(f): 1:15pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
yea,i still pray, i just thank God for the meal, and i implore him to provide for those who do not have,  |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by opediileke(f): 1:24pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
u mustnt wait before food to thank God for provisions. Praying before eatn ur food is hypocritical. u are just fulfiln all righteousness. prayer should be taken more serious. for me i dont pray before eating my meal.  |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by Fostercat(m): 1:46pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
YES I DO  For the catholics we have two basic prayers for meal. Prayer before meal Bless us oh Lord and this your gift(meal) which we r about to receive for your goodness through christ our lord .Amen. u can now add i cover this food with he blood of Jesus!.(short n simple) Prayer after meal God we give u thanks for this your gift(meal) which lives and reign for ever and ever Amen.thank u Jesus |

Opediileke or whatever you call yourself, who told you that praying b4 eating is hypocritical? Pls, try and change your orientation ! |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by sugabelle: 2:00pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
Saying "grace" before a meal can be a very good habit, not childish or hypocritical in the least. I'm ashamed to say it's been a while, but it's something that should be part of every believer. Thanking God for the little things always opens up the way for great ones. |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by r231(m): 2:05pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
I DO Bless this food O Lord for Christ sake Amen,,,,,,,,,simple lol |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by newjay(m): 2:07pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
Can't recall the last time I said the ' Bless Us Oh Lord, ' Probably over a decade ago in secondary school. Also can't stand dinning with those die hard prayer warriors who go on and on with the grace, not minding if hunger iss about to send someone to the great beyond |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by yjay(f): 2:20pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
yes i do, even when i go out to restaurants!!!!!! but its been the same prayer since nursery school, lol Bless this food oh lord for christs sake, AMEN!!!! |

It is too risky not to pray before eating with all these new germs and viruses in town plus demons and co. It is also important to thank God, too many people are moving about hungry. |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by rosepearl(f): 2:42pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
Not always, but i do most of the time, but always thankful to God after every meal and at the same time asking him to provide for those that have not taken any, and the one i just finished should not be my last. i think that's enough |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by blackmann(m): 2:52pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
I just offer an "Ahusubillai mi'nal shaitan rajeem, bismillahi rah'man raheem", nd then dig in. |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by ReachRich(m): 2:58pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
Its gud to pray b4 every meal. U never can tell that short prayer can be ur saviour from a poisoned food. I still pray b4 meal but not all the time. |

Prayer is the Key. |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by Basildon1(m): 3:17pm On Sep 11, 2009 |

| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by saworoide: 3:26pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
It's a Good thing to do. I often forget though but I encourage my family members to do it before and after eating. |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by FFA: 3:53pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
ITS NOT OFTEN, I THINK I NEED TO CHANGE, ITS A GOOD THING TO DO. I REMEMBER MY OLD SCHOOL SONG ' SOME HAVE FOOD BUT CAN NOT EAT, SOME CAN EAT BUT HAVE NO FOOD.', GOD I BLESS U FOR ALL I'VE EATEN TODAY. |
| Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by SmashingM(f): 4:04pm On Sep 11, 2009 |
