    Haha love this! A good tip though: Offer to pray for the waiter/waitress at some point in the meal/when the food comes. My friend led someone to Christ just last week by simply offering to pray for the server, which resulted in a longer conversation where he shared the gospel with him. The server teared up, and said that no one had ever offered to pray for him before. Praise God!

      I look at it this way: I'm the house cook (at least the primary one), and I rather enjoy expressing my gratitude to God when someone else does the preparing. Seriously- for the times someone else cooks, I'm grateful. Also, with chronic pain- I enjoy cooking, but if someone else worked their back on the food, I want it known that I'm grateful.

      Shouldn’t that be done BEFORE the person begins cooking? You want their hands to be blessed beforehand so that the food being cooked will automatically be blessed while it’s being prepared.

      Doing exactly the opposite of what the Bible says. Jesus told the disciples to pray in private instead of in front of other people in order to prevent praying like the pharisees did, doing it to impress the people around them. His point was to pray from the heart rather than pray to show off. God opposes the proud and favors the humble.

    When I was in college, it was customary for me and my friends to pray with our eyes open, or to cover our food (like fries) with our hands. We called that the “shepherd’s prayer.” Otherwise, someone would steal something off our plate when “every head was bowed, and every eye closed.”

I'm sure you know this but the Bible says our heart is evil and desperately wicked who can know it? God tells us "the whole head is sick". We are all walking around, standing in the need of prayer!!! I will be praying for you, because I know you are a treasure, and Satan wants you to be down and he definitely wants you to sit down and be quiet. "We fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, against rulers of the dark. Against wickedness in high places!". Psalm 34 is so healing remind yourself that God is there with you, loving you more than anything and wants you to know that all those things Satan wants you to think about are lies!!! Remember, whatsoever things are right are just are lovely, are of a good report - think on those things ❤️❤️❤️❤️ We love you, John ❤️. Remember? Your the one with your head on Jesus shoulder;. Your the disciple that Jesus loves🥰🙏🙏🙏

    You forgot the in prayer requirements. The prayer must make a reference to the food, such as "Please bless this food to our bodies." or "Thank you for this food." The prayer must also make a reference to the day. "Thank for this day" and "This is the day you have made" are acceptable.

      He could include what they were really thinking too. For example, they say amen, but they're actually hoping the sermon ends soon so they can go home and watch the game.

      Just depends on how hungry you are. Not so hungry...make up for any missed prayer time that week, very hungry...one sentence "Thank You, Jesus. Amen." Will get the job done. Also, always remember, if you are very hungry make sure to be the one that prayers just in case others that aren't so hungry don't have the opportunity to go with the first option. 😜

    I was at my friend's house, and my friend came to the table after the prayer. Her mom told her she could go ahead and eat, that the meal had already been blessed. I thought that was weird because I thought she should still thank God for the food. Maybe the mom could have just prayed for the food in the grocery store. It would have saved the entire family from having to spend time praying at the table. LOL
