A Prayer for the Kitchen Table by Emily Wierenga

There is a table that holds the world together.In this, we linger at that sacred place—the table where crumbs fall into cracks, where children chew on wooden legs, where laughter and grief share the same surface.

The table where we become human… and where Christ chose to meet us.Scripture reveals a God who does not merely invite us to bring our offering—but to sit, eat, and be fed by Him.We reflect on the kitchen tables of our own lives—the places where real talk happens, where joy finally feels safe enough to laugh, where sadness is welcomed because love is present. This is where God meets us in all our mess, soup on our chins and cracks in our souls, and says, Eat. Drink. Remember Me.

Reference: Matthew 3:16

Prayer: Lord, You who are the triune God, thank You for serving me. Thank You for loving me. I long to sit with You and stare into You and know You, forever. Talk with me, laugh with me, and eat with me. I love You.
