A toddler’s precious prayer before eating will warm your heart. The adorable little guy knew to stop and thank the Lord prior to consuming his meal. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see and hear the child bow his head and thank the Lord before eating.

For the most part, we are incredibly blessed. Yes, everyone has their share of problems and issues, whether financial, physical, emotional or something else entirely. But if we were to stop and think about all that we have and everyone in it, we’d quickly conclude that we are, in fact, blessed.

Of course, the Lord is the source of all those blessings and good things in our lives. He continually gives to us, working in and touching our lives as He regularly meets our needs. Often, you’ll also find that in addition to supplying our needs, He will fulfill many of our wants, desires and requests. He is very good to you and me, giving us more than we deserve, and rightly, He deserves to be praised and thanked for it.

One of the best and most common ways and places to express our gratitude to Him for supplying our needs is to do so right before eating a meal. A clip posted on YouTube shows a terribly cute young man doing just that.

In the video, the child is sitting near a table at a diner with a plate of what appears to be chicken fingers and French fries on the table in front of him. But before popping one of those delicious tenders in his mouth, he sweetly and earnestly prays to the Lord. It’s nearly impossible to make out what the young man says during his prayer, but that’s not important. God knows and understands exactly what he is saying and expressing. 

That young man has been taught the right way: to show honor and reverence for the Lord. He is the source of all our blessings and should be thanked.

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”
