Why do you pray before you eat?
People pray before they eat, for different reasons, i found this out when i did a little research, i asked my freinds, siblings, school mates, neighbours and other people, why they pray before eating? And got different stunning responses, some said they prayed to give thanks, some said, to cast out any form of poison, some said, so that the food would satisfy them, and many other funny and surprising answers, some say they dont even pray at all. So i decided to put this question out to nairalanders, why do you pray before eating. Please be sincere, dont just give a socially acceptable answer. Thanks.

I do it because it's proper! lol

Well in the bible during the Passover with the 12 disciples, Jesus did give thanks before they drank wine and broke bread.

Gratitude to which ever Being you believe gave you the food

ITbomb: Gratitude to which ever Being you believe gave you the food

I concur

this should make front page please!

I dont pray, except i am skiptical about the funds source, where it come from and maybe i am outside. The only word is i cover this food with thy blood of jesus

Because men ought always to pray, and it is the Father's will to give thanks.

There is every need for one to pray before eating;
1]To thank the almighty God for his provision
2]To commit the food onto Him the provider
And other while meaning reasons.
