Remembering to Pray Before Meals

[Ave Maria]

Hi everyone. I have trouble remembering to pray before meals. What are some tips or advice you can give me to help me to remember?

 

[Solidlyhere]

I would write a note on a piece of paper: "Remember to say Grace."

Leave this paper on the table for a few days.

By then, you will have developed a Habit.

Also post-its work, you could put one on your debit card or something that way if your out you will remember. once your in the habit of it though it will get easier and you will not forget as much

 

[Ave Maria]

Thanks to both of you for your advice I will try the note thing.

Think about why you're praying before meals. Is it just a nice habit you'd like to get into, or are you truly thankful? I know there are many times when I get stressed out or busy and I forget too, but if we are truly thankful for our meals, how could we forget? Many times I think it has to do with when we are more focused on the food or our time. This will probably sound strange, but when I eat something very simple and plain, even like just some bread or some boring soup, I feel so much more thankful to God than if I'm eating steak and mounds of steaming potatoes and vegatables followed by all you can eat decadent desserts. It's a matter of focusing on the food, or focusing on the God who provides. Also, thinking aobut others who are less fortunate financially, or who suffer for Christ's sake help me to be more thankful.

 

[JPPT1974]

I forget to do the same thing too
But sometimes, need to bless Jesus
For everything that He has given me
And that if it weren't for Him
We wouldn't be having the things that
He has given us.
