Loving Lord, as we gather together around this dinner-table, we thank You for this opportunity to take time out from our different duties and join together in family fellowship and love. As we partake of this good food which You, by Your grace, have provided for our bodies, we pray that You would also nourish our hearts and refresh our souls. Keep our hearts ever open to You and ever grateful for Your daily provision. And Lord, and may we be mindful of the needs of others, ready to help and share if we have the opportunity.Lord, thank You for all You have given us and for these times of refreshment. May we each grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus, in Whose name we pray, Amen.
