Kitchen Prayer

A Kitchen Prayer is a simple, heartfelt prayer that is traditionally recited before meals in many households around the world. It is a way of expressing gratitude for the blessings of the food and asking for blessings for the hands that have prepared it. The prayer is often a moment of reflection and thankfulness for the nourishment that sustains our bodies, and the labor that has gone into creating it. Kitchen prayers can be personalized and may vary in length and content depending on the beliefs and preferences of the individual or family.

Kitchen Prayer 3

God bless my little kitchen,
I love its every nook,
And bless me as I do my work,
Wash pots and pans and cook.
And may the meals that I prepare
Be seasoned from above
With Thy great blessings and Thy grace,
But most of all Thy love.
As we partake of earthly food,
The table before us spread,
We’ll not forget to thank Thee, Lord,
Who gives us daily bread.
So bless my little kitchen, God,
And those who enter in,
May they find naught but Joy and Peace,
And Happiness therein.
Amen.

Dear Lord,
I am at home in the kitchen.
May others feel at home as they enjoy the food I prepare.
I love the smell of baking.
May others enjoy the fragrance of heavens hospitality.
I love to follow a recipe and make a beautiful meal.
Help me to share something of your life changing word,
And the promises of your kingdom.
I cherish the variety of tastes given to us in this incredible world.
May others who dine with us hear our prayers of thanks,
And enjoy the blessings of food.
I am at home in the kitchen.
May my kitchen be full of love.
Amen.
