Praying from Luke 15:23. Themes: Reconciliation, Forgiveness, Joy

Dear Lord, we come before you with grateful hearts, thanking you for all the blessings you have bestowed upon us. As we gather together, we ask that you bless this meal and the fellowship we share. Just as the father in the parable brought out the fattened calf to celebrate his son’s return, we ask that you fill us with joy and gratitude for the blessings you have given us. May this meal be a reminder of your abundant provision and may we always remember to give thanks to you. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
