Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by oyinda3(f): 8:41pm On Sep 11, 2009
i used to do that everytime I ate any meal. "bless this food oh lord for christ sake" and when i'm really hungry, i say it really fast but I always said it.
not anymore though. . .

it's a good habit to have anyways esp when u eat anywhere and everywhere, getting food from places u don't know.

Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by Redman44(m): 11:03pm On Sep 11, 2009
I pray sometimes before I eat but not all the time. When I pray in the morning, I believe God will cover me throughout the day including when I decide to eat at a Restaurant or at home. I can't be bothered about making prayers a ritual. Cheers.
Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by toideve(m): 12:35am On Sep 12, 2009
Father i thank you for this provision, sanctify it and use it for my nourishment in Jesus name Amen! very simple and short, i forget sometimes though when i'm so much in a haste but won't forget again, this thread will always remember me
Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by mohawkchic(f): 1:42am On Sep 12, 2009
~I tend to do it the other way round more as an adult. . .I always give "Thanks" or the "Grace After Meal" after a hearty meal. . ."I give Thee thanks, Almighty God, for all thy benefits, Who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen."


~ Sometimes i say a silent "Bless this Food" prayer before i eat! I suppose i shud say Grace more often before i eat. . .Food For Thought! wink


~I went to a Catholic school so this "Grace" prayer "Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts, which we are about to receive from Thy bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen." was instilled in me back then!

Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by mystikal(m): 11:45am On Sep 12, 2009
plus God, minus Satan, Amen. grin

As a kid I did pray before and after meals, and now as an adult, I still pray all d time, but I can honestly say that a good number of times, those prayers have been merely rituallsitic, more like an unconscious habit
Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by chrisical(m): 1:08pm On Sep 12, 2009
Sign of the cross;
I thank you o Lord for providing this food,bless it in Jesus name,AMEN

Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by bebrief(m): 6:19pm On Sep 12, 2009

Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by category(m): 9:17pm On Sep 12, 2009
I use to pray like this:
BLESS US OH LORD AND THIS THY GIFT WHICH WE ARE ABOUT O RECEIVE FROM THY BOUNTY THROUGH CHRIST OUR LORD (AMEN)
Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by Jydekris(m): 11:56pm On Sep 12, 2009
My prayer before meal is almost a part of me.
I say my food prayer thus: "Bless me oh lord and this your gift which i'm about to receive from your bounty through Christ our lord, Amen."
I'll advice that we all say our prayers before and after meals.
Remember Iya Basira, LOL grin
Re: Do U Pray Before Eating? by ifyalways(f): 11:57pm On Sep 12, 2009
