Grace

God of hope,
The Bible nourishes our minds and helps us grow spiritually. Your gifts of food nourish our bodies and help us grow physically. Thank you for both, and for all of your blessings. Amen.

Nature's grace

We thank God for the sun and rain
that feeds the orchard fruit and grain.
Thank God for trees and tiny seeds
from which comes food to fill our needs.
Thank God for joys that fill our days.
To God we'll always give our praise.
Amen.

Sufficient Grace

Sufficient God,
Make us neither rich nor poor, but give us only what we need. If we have too much we may forget that our blessings come from you. If we have too little we may be tempted to take what is not ours. Thank you for providing just what we need. Amen.

(Based on Proverbs 30:8-9)

Unending Grace

Dear God,
For all you give to help us live—
for fruit so sweet and corn and wheat,
the sun above, your endless love—
we give you praise for all our days.
Amen.

Everywhere Grace

Great God, we bow our heads in prayer
to thank you for your loving care.
Be with us as this meal we share.
May your love be known everywhere.
Amen.
