We rejoice with you as you celebrate another year of God’s faithfulness in your life! Birthdays are indeed a gift from the Lord—a reminder of His grace, protection, and unending love. We give thanks to our Heavenly Father for sustaining you thus far and for the blessings He has poured out upon you. The Bible tells us in Psalm 139:13-16, *"For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them."* What a beautiful truth—that every day of your life was written in God’s book before you were even born!
We also lift you up in prayer today, asking the Lord to fill this new year of your life with His presence, purpose, and peace. May He guide your steps, open doors of opportunity, and deepen your faith as you seek Him. Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the life of Your beloved child. Thank You for the years You have already given and for the new beginning this birthday represents. Lord, we ask that You would fill this coming year with Your wisdom, joy, and protection. May Your Holy Spirit lead and direct every step, every decision, and every relationship in a way that brings glory to Your name. Strengthen their faith, deepen their trust in You, and surround them with godly influences. Father, we pray for health, provision, and peace in every area of their life. May they grow closer to You each day, experiencing the fullness of Your love and the power of Your resurrection. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
As you step into this new year, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord with all your heart. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Let this be your guiding principle—surrendering every plan, dream, and desire to Him, knowing that His ways are higher than ours.
May this birthday be the start of a year filled with God’s blessings, spiritual growth, and a deeper intimacy with Him. We pray that you would walk in the fullness of His purpose for your life, shining His light wherever you go. Happy birthday, and may the Lord richly bless you in the year ahead!
