Grace continues

March 15

Merciful God,
Our lives are filled with reminders of your blessings:
love of family and friends, the beauty of this world,
a sheltering home, our daily bread. Thank you for
all your gifts.


Amen.

Abundant grace

March 13

Gracious God,
Fruits and vegetables, bread and cheese,
meat and sweet desserts that please,
all the foods that help us grow
come to us from you, we know.
So we thank you, and we pray
that we'll serve you every day.

Amen.

Hunger for grace

March 12

Dear God,
When we hunger and thirst for your love you satisfy
our souls. When we hunger for food and thirst for water
you provide that also, through the help of others working
with your creation. Thank you for filling us with your love
and with this food.

Amen.

Reliable grace

March 11

Reliable God,
Just as we don't have to worry about the sun rising
every morning, so we don't have to worry about
you providing all our needs. Thank you for your
constant love and care. Please bless this food
and restore our bodies with it.

Amen.

Relaxing Grace

March 10

God of peace,
Thank you for this time, short as it may be, to
slow our lives down a little. As often as we need
to eat we also need to relax and think about where
our blessings come from. Fill us with your love as we
fill our bodies with this food you have provided.

Amen.

For all the good things that you give
each and every day we live;
for loving us with tender care
and blessing us beyond compare;
for cozy homes and families sweet;
for all the tasty things we eat;
for all these things and much more, too,
we give our thanks, oh God, to you.

Amen.

including this meal.
