A PRAYER OF GRACE FOR BEFORE MEALS FOR ADULTS

Through the Presence of God "I AM" within ourselves, we reverently bow before all Life as we give thanks and ask for the blessing of the food before us.

We ask of You, Dear God, to provide the nourishment for all people in order to maintain strong physical bodies, which are the Sacred Temples of the Inner Christ.

As we thank You for the blessing of these elements, we ask to be forever and ever supplied with the Essence of Your Divine Love and Knowledge, that we may serve as perfect channels for the expansion of Your Light.

SO BE IT! BELOVED "I AM"!

PRAYER OF GRACE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN

When we pray:

Our little eyes we close,

We bow our little heads,

We place our little hands together,

And we think of God.

“Dear God, bless this food

We are about to eat;

And please, give food to those children

Who don't have any.

Amen!”

A PRAYER OF GRACE FOR OLDER CHILDREN

"Beloved Presence of God "I AM"... we acknowledge you to be the owner and giver of all Life!

Bless this food which we are about to receive, and allow it to be favorable for our physical bodies, the Temples of our Inner Christ Selves.

Bless the hands which prepared this food, and also bless the elements which compose it;

And most of all, we thank you, Father-Mother God, for granting us the virtues and qualities which nourish the Inner Christ.

THANK YOU! AMEN!
