realmindz: Aren't you begging the question? You could be one of those people starving but God said NO. You are alive today, many are dead. Isn't that enough to be grateful other than start philosophizing on those not lucky enough? We cannot question Him. God is above our knowledge. |

Good question. Once I went out with a friend to an eatery, after we placed orders for food and it was served us, he closed his eyes and blessed the food. I found it very interesting and a worthy culture to imbibe. Me, on the other hand while growing up, fought the practice of praying before eating hard with my mum. It was just out of rebellion. Since that hang out, I don't pray before eating out of compulsion but of necessity giving thanks to God for provision. 1 Like 1 Share |

nowpresence: I never said I'm all powerful and merciful. But you can touch a life not be praying for them but by doing the best in your own capacity to feed a hungry stomach. If all Christians can give their 5% monthly to the cause of feeding a hungry stomach, the world will be better. But won't a Christian rather give his 10% to his fat pastor so that he can be blessed and loved in return by his god rather than give to a his hungry neighbor? Well that's the definition of holiness and height of hypocrisy, doing what you have bewn told just to please your god while men perish. It is more righteous to give not believing that you will be rewarded or any evil or devourer will befall you than giving because you have been threatened with devourers and promised with favour and rewards.... 2 Likes |

geoworldedu: Very wrong, it's not fear based or religion. It's Ethical to say prayers for thanking God for provision. Not only food but for everything God blesses us with. |

Omuneizzy6: Uncountable reasons to pray before meal, many people have died while eating because their food are lazed with poison or just because of other reason. We pray so that God can provide other meal for us, we pray so that the meal would not work against our health, we pray so that we can dine with God in eternity etc |
Re: Why Do You Pray Before Taking Your Meal ? by Jones4190(m): 9:51am On May 27, 2018 |
We don't need to pray before eating, what we need to do is Thanksgiving, God has already answer our prayer by giving us our dairy bread which we ask in the morning |
Re: Why Do You Pray Before Taking Your Meal ? by mycoplasma: 9:53am On May 27, 2018 |
Macon1212:what about those who survived poison? Who should they thank? And those that died, who should the relative thank? or just because of other reason. Like? We pray so that God can provide other meal for us, we pray so that the meal would not work against our health, we pray so that we can dine with God in eternity etcWhen you pray to a omniscient and omni-whatever god, isn't he aware of the situation cos praying to god is paradoxical to his omni attributes |
Re: Why Do You Pray Before Taking Your Meal ? by nowpresence(f): 9:53am On May 27, 2018 |
mycoplasma:thank God for everything, both good and bad. Bad things must surely happen likewise good things. We pray to God to give us the strength to withstand those bad times and also to appreciate the good times. |

nowpresence:You still haven't answered my question. When a ghastly car accident happen and people loss their lives, who do you thank? God? |
