I do pray before meals. It is not important to be eloquent or wordy but truly thankful. I don't see it as superstition but rather rightly attributing my provision to my Lord for which I am thankful. I do not take for granted my provision. I pray for it daily and then return thanks to Him who is so faithful. When I have family gatherings, I pray aloud and unless I am with someone who is offended by my praying or when alone, I pray silently. We ought to pray always about everything. There is a wonderful article on prayer by JC Ryle which I would encourage people to read. It has challenged my prayer life in many ways. I still fall short but am learning.
