Grace (prayer)

When people pray, they are usually talking to God. When we ask God for things, like help or forgiveness, we call it a request. But when we say grace before a meal, we are thanking God for the food we are about to eat. It's like saying, "Hey God, thank you for giving us this food. We appreciate it and we are grateful." Saying grace is a way to show our gratitude and appreciation for the good things in our lives. Some families have their own special way of saying grace, but the important thing is to be sincere and thankful.
