Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today on behalf of GoodShepard, who is missing their mother on their birthday. We lift up their heartache and longing for their mother's presence, especially the cherished memory of her singing "Happy Birthday" to them in the morning. Lord, we ask that you comfort GoodShepard during this time of longing and bring them peace.
We thank you, Lord, for the assurance that those who have passed away in faith are now in your presence. We pray that GoodShepard's mother is rejoicing in Heaven, singing songs of celebration and love to all those who awaken on their birthdays. May her voice bring joy and comfort to the hearts of those in Heaven.
On this special day, we also lift up GoodShepard's birthday wish to you, Lord. We ask that you hear their heartfelt desire and grant it according to your perfect will. Help them to find joy and fulfillment in their celebration, knowing that you are with them every step of the way.
In the name of your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
