Giver of all good things: we thank you for answered prayer in the gift of daily bread. At your command the seed germinates, and grain rises from the ground, and workers heed the call to labour in fields that are ripe for harvest. By your grace the millers grind, and bakers bake, so that cities and nations are fed. Give all the people of this earth their daily bread we pray. Amen.
