Birthday Prayer

Birthday Blessing Prayers

One of the most remarkable things that can ever happen to you is to witness the birth of another human being. It truely is a miracle - for out of almost nothing comes a beautiful baby, complete with it's own unique features and characteristics.

When we think about somebodies birthday, we celebrate all that they are, and all that they are about to be. This is a great time to pray for them - either by silent prayer in your heart, or by actually praying for them in their presence, and even (if it seems appropriate) by laying hands on them. If you are not able to see them in person, you might consider sending them a special happy birthday prayer message - either in a card or perhaps via email.

Further down this page you'll find three prayers - one as a prayer that you can pray for yourself on your birthday. another is a short happy birthday prayer message that you can include in your friend or loved one's card, and finally there is a suggested prayer for somebodies birthday.

My Own Birthday Prayer

Father, thank you for today

For all the cards and gifts

All the tokens of love that remind me of how I am loved and appreciated.

Today I remember that you are my creator and sustainer

In you I live and move and have my being

I thank you for your faithfulness and care through the years

I commit this birthday to You

May I honour You as You have given to me

This special day and each day of my life

I want to know You more

Take 'time out' to be with You more

and love You more.

Amen.

A Happy Birthday prayer message

And live in His grace

Now and forever
