We are delighted to lift you up in prayer on this special occasion of your birthday. Firstly, we are instructed in the scriptures to pray to our heavenly father in Jesus' name. As is noted in the scriptures, it is by Jesus' name only that we have access to our heavenly father. It is also by his name only that we can be saved.
And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved!

First, we thank God for the gift of life and for adding another year to your life. We pray that this new year will bring forth abundant blessings, spiritual growth, and a deeper relationship with God.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name to lift up our dear ### on the occasion of their birthday. We thank You for the gift of their life and for Your steadfast love and faithfulness, which have brought them to this day.
We pray that You will bless them abundantly, as Your Word promises in Psalm 37:4 WEB: Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
We ask for Your continued protection over them, as You have promised in Psalm 91:11-12 WEB: For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won't dash your foot against a stone.
We pray that this birthday will mark a new beginning in their spiritual journey, and that they will grow stronger in faith and in their walk with You. Guide them in the way they should go and give them wisdom and discernment in their decisions.
We also pray that they will use this new year of life to bring glory to Your name and to be a blessing to others, as You have blessed them. May they continue to grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Lastly, let them know that your ways are not our ways, and our thoughts are not your thoughts.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB
We rejoice with them on this special day and look forward to seeing Your blessings and protection manifest in their life. We ask all these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
