Prayer has always been a part of my life.
From childhood dinner tables to sacred ceremonies, it’s something I’ve returned to — in many forms, with many names, and for many reasons.
And even though I no longer identify as a Christian, prayer remains one of the most sacred practices in my spiritual path.
It’s something I now define on my own terms — and it’s deeply woven into how I nourish my body, protect my energy, and stay connected to the divine in everyday moments.
Especially when it comes to food.
🌿 Why I Bless My Food Every Single Time
For me, prayer over food isn’t just tradition — it’s energetic hygiene.
It’s a way of slowing down, coming back to presence, and recognizing the miracle that’s right in front of me.
Every meal is an act of receiving.
Every bite is a conversation with the Earth, the elements, and Spirit.
And so… I bless it. With gratitude. With intention. With love.
I believe that our words carry vibration — and when we speak over our food, we’re not just saying “thank you.” We’re infusing it with energy. We’re aligning it with our bodies. We’re acknowledging that what we eat becomes part of who we are.
It’s not about being perfect or religious.
It’s about being present.
And it’s one of the most accessible forms of daily magic I know.
💫 Redefining Prayer as an Inclusive Practice
For a long time, I struggled with prayer.
Growing up, prayer was something you said a certain way — to a very specific version of God — or else it didn’t “count.” That pressure made me disconnect from it entirely for a season.
But as I grew, studied other spiritual paths, and stepped into my own authentic truth, I realized something powerful:
✨ Prayer doesn’t belong to any one religion. It belongs to all of us. ✨
It’s not about the name you use.
It’s not about kneeling or folding your hands.
It’s not even about who’s listening.
Prayer is intention + attention + vibration.
It’s a sacred conversation — with Source, Spirit, Universe, your higher self, or simply the energy of love.
Now, I pray in a way that feels inclusive and expansive.
And I always strive to use language that invites everyone to feel welcome, no matter where they are on their spiritual journey.
🌟 A Prayer to Bless Your Food (And How to Use It)
If you’ve been wanting to start a prayer practice — or bring more mindfulness to meals — here’s a beautiful and complete food blessing that you can make your own.
You can speak it silently or aloud. You can say the whole thing or just parts of it. What matters most is the intention behind the words.
🌿 Sacred Food Blessing Prayer
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the Divine — in all forms, all names, and all frequencies of love — for this food.
I bless the hands, hearts, animals, plants, water, soil, sun, and elements that contributed to its creation.
I honor the Earth for her abundance and the unseen forces of nature and spirit that helped bring this nourishment to my table.
I clear any energy from this food that is not in alignment with my highest good.
May this nourishment be of the highest vibration, aligning me with my happiest, healthiest, wealthiest, and most soul-aligned timeline.
May every bite be a reminder that I am supported, loved, and worthy of receiving.
May this food not only feed my body, but energize my spirit, calm my nervous system, and activate healing, joy, and pleasure within every cell.
I offer gratitude to the ancestors who walked before me and made this moment possible.
I bless this food with love, gratitude, and intention.
I allow myself to receive it with presence and purpose.
May all beings everywhere be nourished, supported, and blessed with abundance.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
💖 Final Words
Prayer doesn’t have to be fancy.
It doesn’t need to sound holy.
It just needs to be true.
This is how I stay connected to what matters — not just in ritual or ceremony, but in the small, everyday moments that shape my life.
If you’ve been afraid to pray because of what you were taught…
If you’ve felt disconnected from your food, your body, or your spirit…
If you’re looking for a soft place to begin…
Let this be your doorway.
Let this be your daily ritual of love and remembrance.
And know this:
Your voice is powerful.
Your words are spells.
Your gratitude is holy.
With every bite, with every blessing, you are creating a more intentional, loving, and aligned life.
And I’m so honored to walk this path with you.
With love and presence,
Victoria Rose
