This first prayer is a very popular before meal blessing. It holds a special place in my heart as I remember fondly my grandfather saying it before dinner when I was a young boy. Opening prayers and praises. An opening prayer or act of praise is a significant opportunity to express our desire to encounter God together. There may be specific things for which to thank God, but mostly we will want to pray for him to be honoured in our gathering and for our faith, hope and love to be increased as we minister to one another. Prayers Before Meals (Grace). Our Father in Heaven, we give thanks for the pleasure of gathering together for this occasion. We give thanks for this food prepared.
