can you explain why you pray before eating anything?

It's not rocket science. Just thank God for providing for you. Some people have nuffink to eat

Rizstar: can you explain why you pray b4 eating anyting

You can thank God for providing the food. However you should not ask anything from Him.

Do not ask any thing from God which is either related to present or future. When you ask some thing in present or some thing in the future, it clearly means that you are reminding Him about the corresponding reaction that is to be immediately implemented in the need. This indirectly means that God is not alert as you are. This is insulting God. Due to such sin the requirement is not answered. If you are asking to protect yourself or somebody else, it indirectly means that He is not aware of the things to be done due to the irresponsibility and this also indicates that He is not as kind as yourself.

It means that God has potency to help but not kind enough to render the help. On contrary, it also means that you lack unfortunately the potency. It means if you fortunately have the potency you could have immediately responded and helped. Therefore, when ever you ask for anything it clearly means indirectly that God has some type of defect, which does not exist in your case. When you ask Him to fulfill the desire it looks as if that your desire is constitutionally justified. But God is not positively reacting due to either lack of positive response immediately or due to lack of knowledge of the constitution or due to lack of kindness to help the needy. All these points are very very subtle. But God is the most subtle and therefore, the knowledge of this analysis will certainly restrict you from asking any fulfillment of your desire.

Never bring present and future before God. Confine to the past always before God. Look back at your past life. Hundreds of incidents are there where you were helped by God. Even if you dispose some incidents through the incidental probability of success or through the efficiency of your efforts, certainly there are plenty of instances in which the help from God is clearly evident. At least remember those few incidents and express your gratefulness along praise to God for His kind help that was already done. The word Krutajnata means remembering the past help. Kruta means the past help done. Jna means identifying it by analysis. If you confine to praying the Lord and thanking Him always about the past helps from Him, the Lord will be immensely pleased. Then the present and future are spontaneously taken care of by the God. But do not adopt this technique with a mind that you will be helped by God in the present and in the future by following this procedure!

You should really follow this path and you should really forget the present and the future. When large number of people came to hear the message from Jesus, they were hungry by the noon. This point was brought to the notice of Jesus. He never asked God to provide food for those hungry people who came to hear God’s word. Had He asked for that, He would have insulted God. God knows His responsibility very well towards the devotees who came there to hear about Him. God has the power to fulfill His responsibility even in the last fraction of second. Had Jesus told God to bless the devotees with food, it clearly means that God is not as kind as Jesus. Jesus never asked for any thing. He came to know that there were four breads. He took them and showed to sky. He thanked God for providing those four pieces of bread.

Immediately the present was responded and the four breads became four thousand breads. This application of analysis is limited to Nivrutti only. You should not extend this to Pravrutti. When you are hungry you have to beg the other souls because they are not omniscient to know that you are hungry. Pravrutti and Nivrutti should never be mixed.

^^^ chai, simple question, you are here writing an irrelevant scroll

Just to thank God for the food. Yesterday I was accosted at Asokoro by a young man like me, asking for money to eat. So you can imagine. On a good day, we may have been in each other's shoes.

I just returned from the village and it is amazing the level of poverty we have. There are people whose best meal is eaten when I am in the village, and it is a very sobering sight. Malnourished children everywhere. Really sad.

So dat d food will be sweeter.

INSIPIDITY

From my Christian angle, it's done to thank God for the provision of the food & to purify it from germs/poison.

Dumb shyt, Am sure you have learnt to stop copy and pasting.

sign that you respect God that gave you the food and dealing with un for seen attacks that is ready to cause you harm through your food for Bible says at the mention of name Jesus, every knee must bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is lord.

It is necessary to thank God for the provision.
A woman went to a seminar organised by their company for all concerned staff all over the country. After the seminar, it was time for lunch and they sat to eat and the woman in question started praying on the food while other were eating and laughing at her. All of a sudden the food spoke that "we are not meant for people like you" when others heard the voice they were afraid and stopped eating while others were trying to forcefully vomit what they have eaten.

This is the reason:
Some have food they cannot eat
Some can eat but there's no food
We have food and we can eat
Glory be to thee O Lord!
Amen..

Bless this food
O Lord
For Christ's sake
Amen..

Remember those songs/rhymes?
But seriously, i can't remember the last time i actually prayed before a meal.. I eat it as it comes..
