Prayers for Dinner
Dinnertime Prayer For Those Who Are Hungry
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your gracious provision to us day be day and for the many blessing of Your grace, of which we all partake each day. But Lord, I know that there are many people in the world today who are hurting and hungry, and I bring before You all those people in need or who are facing hunger and food-shortages.
Provide Lord, for each of Your children, and look down in pity and mercy on them that have insufficient food or are facing famine. I lift up those that have severe financial and social difficulties and who are unable to provide even the basics of life for themselves and their families.
Look down in pity on all who are hungry, both in body and spirit. Provide for both their physical needs and spiritual food. I ask this in the precious name of Jesus,
Amen.

We pray that this may be a time of real blessing and fellowship as we share the joys and woes that we have each faced while we have been apart, and we pray that Your abiding Presence would remain among us and rest on each one of us, over the coming months.
Thank You, Father, for the food that You have graciously provided for us. Thank You that You are a great and bountiful God. We ask Your blessing on our mealtime together and pray that You would draw us ever closer to each other and to You. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
