I myself really love to eat, and i say my prayer-before-meal. But there are times when im really hungry and forgot to pray. How about you? Do you pray before meal?

honestly when i am so hungry i forget to pray , i just get my plate and put food in it,and eat. but i sometimes pray before meals.i feel guilty about not praying before eating, because my nephews cannot eat without praying first.little ones are great.

I do pray before meals. I think praying is important because it is in praying that you express your gratitude to the Lord for all His blessings - that includes the food that we all eat.

Yes! It's a great time to think about my blessings, and food is certainly a blessing and a vital part of life--not to mention just enjoyable for the fun of it! I've just polished off a bowl of hot dogs chopped up into black-eyed peas and am drinking some raspberry-flavored water. I also had jalapeno-flavored potato chips on the side, and a couple of cookies are talking to me from the other room asking me to gobble them up!
