Heavenly Father, Today we celebrate the gift of another year of life with a special boy (### year old).. Thank You for bringing him into this world thirteen years ago, and for every breath, every smile, every echoed word from his picture books, and every moment he has shared with us. On this special day, we thank You for the unique light he carries — even when the world does not always understand it. We thank You for his love of simple things, for the way he finds comfort in familiar pages and pictures, and for the quiet strength he shows in a body and mind that make life so much harder for him than for others. Lord, as he grows taller and stronger through this season of adolescence, we ask for Your tender protection over him. Guard his heart and mind from the stares, the unkind words, and the rejection he sometimes faces. Calm the storms inside him when he is bumped or overwhelmed. Give him peace when his body changes and his feelings become confusing. Help him feel safe and loved, even when he cannot easily say what he needs. Bless him with gentle days filled with the things that bring him joy — favourite books, quiet routines, soft textures, and the steady presence of those who love him. Grant him good health, freedom from pain, and relief from the side effects of the medicine that tries to keep him calmer. Give us, his family, fresh strength for the year ahead. Fill us with patience when we feel exhausted, wisdom when we don’t know what to do next, and deep, unwavering love that sees his worth far beyond his struggles. May this new year of life bring him more comfort than hardship, more calm than chaos, and more moments where he knows he is deeply cherished — just as he is. We entrust him once again into Your caring hands. Walk with him through every step of his journey. Let him know, in ways that reach his heart, that he is never alone and that he is infinitely loved. Happy Birthday, dear boy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
