A Prayer Before Family Dinner
Family meals can be ordinary, noisy, imperfect, and deeply meaningful. This prayer asks God to bless not only the food but also the way family members speak, listen, and share the table.
Lord, thank You for bringing us to this table. Bless the food before us and the people gathered around it. Help us put aside distractions long enough to notice one another. Give us patience in conversation, gratitude for what has been provided, and grace for whatever tensions we carried into the room. Let this meal strengthen more than our bodies; let it strengthen our life together.
Amen.
Scripture: Acts 2:46 Colossians 3:15
