Happy Birthday! We rejoice with you on this special day and bring your requests before God's throne.
Firstly, we must acknowledge Jesus Christ as the only mediator between God and us, the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. We have been saved by grace through faith in Him. We must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and we will be saved. It is by His name that we should pray.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister on his/her birthday. We thank You for the gift of life and for the blessings You have bestowed upon him/her thus far. Lord, we pray that You will make this a memorable and joyous day, filled with Your love and peace.
We pray that You will guide his/her steps this coming year, that Your will be done in his/her life, and that You will draw him/her even closer to You. Grant him/her the desires of his/her heart, as long as they align with Your will and bring You glory. We pray that you will send a Godly spouse if that is your will. We pray that you set apart a spouse for him/her now in preparation for a Godly marriage in your will and timing. We pray protection from the evil one, and from wrong and hurtful relationships.
Father, we also pray for his/her spiritual growth. May he/she continue to grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. May Your Word be a lamp unto his/her feet and a light unto his/her path. May he/she walk in a way pleasing to you, being conformed to the image of Christ.
Lord, we ask that You will bless him/her with many more years filled with health, happiness, and service to You. May he/she continue to be a blessing to others, shining Your light wherever he/she goes.
We ask all these things in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For it is in Him that we live, move, and have our being. For there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Amen.
On this special day, we encourage you to meditate on the words of Psalm 91:14-16 WEB:
"Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and bring him to honor. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation."
May these words bring comfort and encouragement to you on your birthday and throughout the coming year.
Lastly, we gently remind you that nowhere in scripture do we find calls to pray to Mary or other saints as this would go against the biblical teaching of Jesus Christ being the sole mediator.
