🙏 A blessing for our table

🍽️ From our sister site, Flourishing Nursing™.

This is the official prayer of Flourishing Nursing™, shared here because it begins where Kitchen Monk™ begins—at the table. Pray it before a meal, read it quietly, or simply let it be. Everyone is welcome here, of every faith and none.

🙏🪔 The Flourishing Nursing™ Prayer

🌲 The official prayer of Flourishing Nursing™

Heavenly Father,
Source of life, love, and every good gift,
thank You for the nourishment before us,
the hands that prepared it,
and the people gathered at this table.

Bless this food to strengthen our bodies,
and let our gratitude grow into generosity.
Help us make room for those who hunger—
for bread, for belonging, or for hope.

As You nourish us, teach us to nourish others.
Give us hands that serve gently,
ears that listen deeply,
and hearts that honor the dignity of every person.

Tend the gardens within us.
Root us in compassion,
restore us through rest,
and help us flourish in Your love.

Remember the nurse who is weary,
the caregiver who feels unseen,
and the patient who is afraid.
Help us receive care as freely as we offer it.

Keep the lamp of our calling burning.
May its light bring comfort,
its warmth offer welcome,
and its flame kindle hope.

At this table and wherever You lead us,
may we become instruments of Your healing love.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

🍽️ For every table, and everyone who gathers at it.
