God of all, we thank you for the works you are doing today. we thank you for the food on our table and the friends and family around our table. we thank you that we are able to eat today and ask that you send your Spirit to comfort those who cannot eat today. oh God of compassion, show your love to our sisters and brothers struggling with food issues and eating disorders. may we be agents of your work among them and all people. help us to recognize our own eating problems and show us ways to take better care of our bodies. and bless this food we are about to eat to the health of our bodies, and bless our bodies to work in your service. amen.
In this grace, I wanted to think about praying for those with an eating disorder. It recently occured to me that thanking God for providing food to eat would hard and awkward for someone who did not want to eat that food. I also wanted to touch on all of the ways we eat 'incorrectly' and ask God to help us fix that. I hope it could be a grace that people on all sides of the issue could pray.
