We are delighted to join you in celebrating your son's birthday today! Let's lift up this precious life to our Heavenly Father, giving thanks for his existence and praying for his future.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this beloved son to You. We thank You for the gift of his life and the joy he brings to those around him. We pray that You would bless him abundantly today. We ask God that You will cause Your face to shine upon him, show him Your ways, and give him peace and understanding. We ask God that You will give him a long life as outlined in Your will and Word. We ask God that You will keep him from the evil one and sanctify him, as Jesus prayed in John 17:15-17 WEB.
Father, we pray that You would guide him in the path of righteousness for Your name's sake. We're asking that the desires of his heart will please you. Help him to grow in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with You and with people, just as Jesus did in Luke 2:52 WEB. Lord, we pray that You would protect him from harm and keep him safe both physically and spiritually. We ask God that You will help him to grow into a man of integrity, with a heart that truly longs for You and Your purpose.
The prayer request did not mention the name Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). So we ask in the name of Jesus Christ that he be saved if he is not already, knowing that it is only by this name that we have access to you and are saved. As outlined in Acts 4:12 and John 14:6 WEB. We ask that You will give him the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him and that the eyes of his heart may be enlightened, that he may know what is the hope of Your calling, and what are the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the holy ones. We're asking that he will know the exceeding greatness of Your power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of Your might which You have worked in Christ, raising Him from the dead, and sitting Him at Your right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rulers, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. We ask that You have put all things in subjection under His feet, and have given Him to be head over all things for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. As stated in Ephesians 1:17-22 WEB.
We ask God that You will bless his birthday celebration. May it be filled with joy, laughter, and cherished memories. We also pray for his family, that You would bless them and give them Your grace and wisdom as they support and nurture him.
We ask these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ and for His sake. Amen.
May God richly bless your son on his special day. May God's Word guide him and keep him all the days of his life.
