Giving Thanks: The Importance of Prayer Before Meals

At New Creations, we believe in cultivating an attitude of gratitude. Before each meal, we gather together to offer a simple prayer of thanks for God's blessings. This practice not only teaches children to appreciate their food but also instills a sense of reverence and connection with God.

• Cultivating gratitude: Our mealtime prayers help children develop a thankful heart for the food they receive and other blessings in their lives

• Building reverence: Through prayer, we encourage a sense of respect and awe for God's provision

• Fostering connection: Praying together strengthens the children's relationship with God and with each other

• Teaching appreciation: By acknowledging the source of our food, children learn to value and not waste their meals

• Establishing routine: Regular prayer before meals helps create a comforting and consistent structure for the children
