Yes, I do pray before bed. I thank God for being alive and for watching over my kids and protecting them and keeping them safe. I don't pray before I eat though but I prolly should start doing that.

Yes I do pray before I eat, im blessed that God has allowed my family and I to be blessed with food on our table every night. There are so many people and families without food to eat. Im very thankful. How about you? God Bless

I should be more thankful and grateful because the only time I pray before I eat is with family on thanksgiving.

We always say the blessing before we eat supper. We didnt always used to but we do now and it's very important, I think.

I think its good to thank God and to reflect a little on the food we are about to eat before digging in. It does not have to be lengthy or elaborate, something that can be easily done in public/ private for both one's own sense of duty and for the respect to food itself.

No, I don't pray before I eat. I would love to pray, but I dont know what really should I pray for? maybe I should pray to God that I always get to eat good food the rest of my life and that I should always be able to digest it too. :-)

I don't feel the need to pray at dinner, not because I'm not religous, I'm just always thankful for what I have, and say little prayers on my own terms and when it seems appropriate.

No I don't pray before I eat. Most of the time I eat in a hurry and I know that is not a good reason.

Yes I do. You should always bless you food before eating because we really don't know what is in that food.
