For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Food is set apart and made holy through God's word and prayer. Wholesome, health-giving food from the earth is His gift provided for sustenance. Good, ripe, undecayed fruit is a beneficial example of such food, to be received with thanks to the Lord. It is to be received gratefully, with thanksgiving and grateful praise to the Giver.
When asking the Lord to bless food to strengthen the body, trust that He hears and eat without anxious worry. Meals should be enjoyed cheerfully and unhurried, with gratitude for His blessings. The diet is to be kept simple and wholesome.
Eating simply means using fewer kinds of food at one meal and discarding pastries, cakes, and dishes prepared to tempt the appetite. Eating simply and carefully, without placing any unnecessary burden on the stomach, supports health. God cooperates in preserving the health of those who eat this way, because He has made the path of nature sure and safe and wide enough for all who will walk in it.
