A Prayer for Growers and Eaters

Just a little prayer I found in a lovely cookbook given to me as a wedding shower gift: Simply in Season

Hope you like it too!


A Prayer for Growers and Eaters

Generous God, Source of all we enjoy around this table,
thank you for the rich flavors, crisp colors, and simple foods
that fill us and please us.

We remember those who have labored long on our behalf.
For farmers near and far, for their households,
their land and their communities,
we ask your sustaining grace.

Give hope, health, and fruitfulness to your people who farm.
Fill us with the Spirit's generosity and joy
so that we may fittingly eat at the table you have set
and serve the world you have made. Amen.

-Jennifer Davis Sensenig
