The art of praying for a meal is no longer invoked. It appears we are in a new world order of Christianity. Before now, Christians would pray seriously before putting anything in their mouth whether it is real food or junk. In this current time prayers before and after a meal is gradually losing relevance. In this piece, we shall raise prayer points regarding this.
We shall be raising the prayer points in this subject matter in different categories. We will raise prayer points for seeking the provision of the meal and a typical prayer before one eats. The latter will contain the list of the prayers in the order of the prayer section. At least, if you don’t know how or what to pray when you want to eat, this prayer will be of help to you. Please take your time to read through the prayer points in each section and pray them accordingly.
Prayer for Provision of the Meal
- Father in Jesus’ name, I ask for the blessing of a provision of meals in the name of Jesus. Father everything is in your hand, bless me with meals in Jesus’ name. Jacob prayed this same prayer and you heard him, Lord, please hear me today too in Jesus’ name.
- Father, your word says that he that cannot provide for his own has denied the faith and he is worst than an infidel. Lord, I don’t want to deny the faith. Please help Lord. Let there be provision for my home in the name of Jesus. Provision for our meals and needs in the name of Jesus.
- Father, your word says the young lion do hunger and lack but they that trust in you shall not lack anything good. Father, I trust in you for provision, let us not hunger, and don’t let us lack good things in the name of Jesus. For in you Oh Lord we trust, don’t let us lack good things in the name of Jesus.
- Father, you fed the children of Israel with manner for forty years, here I am Lord, feed me in the name of Jesus. Let there be a provision of meals for me in the name of Jesus. You are the same God who fed Elijah during a famine, feed me Lord in the name of Jesus.
- Father, the Bible says I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, where will my help come from. It will come from the Lord who made heavens and earth, Lord I receive the help of provision for our meals in the name of Jesus.
- Apostle Paul says he that do not work should not eat, Lord please bless me with a work that I may be able to provide for me and my household in the name of Jesus. Jesus, please help with my business/work in the name of Jesus. Just bless the work of my hand in the name of Jesus.
