An Authentic Blessing for Church Potlucks

Dear Lord thank you for this time of fellowship with dear brothers and sisters. Please bless this food to our bodies. Even though much of this food was produced on factory farms that feed animals foods you did not design them to eat in living in conditions you did not intend, please restore the nutrition. Even though we removed much of the nutrition so it would be easier to manufacture, please help our bodies thrive on foods you did not design us to eat. Even though we added into the food many chemicals that hurt us, help us to not get sick. Even though most of our farms don't follow your plans for healthy soil, please restore the minerals to the fruits and vegetables. Even though we throw away the food scraps so that they can't be composted and enrich soils, reach down into the dumps and restore the biomass to the soils. Even though we eat too much food, help it to not make us overweight or raise our blood sugars. Even though we eat according to the western diet, help us not get the western diseases associated with it. Thank you for leading us to make this delicious food. In Jesus name. Amen.
