Meal Prayer

Because I like writing prayers, I guess…

God of Process

We are grateful to be gathered together in love and friendship, for God is Love and Jesus is our friend.

We give thanks for the abundance that is before us.  We ask that you would bless this table and those around it, that this food would nourish and strengthen our minds and bodies and do us the good that we need.

As we gather, the way that Christ gathered with his disciples, with those downtrodden, with those who society said were not fit to share a meal with, we remember our Lord and his radical sense of justice.  We hope to develop such spiritual acumen and to serve our God as Jesus did.

Still Speaking God, we ask that your voice would be clear to us, that we may follow your lure and act in ways that are in accordance with your will.

We pray to you in the name of all that is holy.

Amen
