Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and joy on this special day. We thank You for the gift of life and for adding another year to our dear friend's journey. As we gather to celebrate this birthday, we are reminded of Your faithfulness and love.
Lord, Your Word says, “This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24). We rejoice in the life You have given and the many blessings that come with it. We pray that You continue to guide and protect our friend in the year ahead. Grant wisdom, strength, and peace in every situation.
As we prepare to share this meal, we ask for Your blessing upon it. May it nourish our bodies and bring us together in fellowship. Help us to always remember those who are less fortunate and to share Your love with others.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Happy Birthday!
