Prayer
Gracious and Loving God,
Thank You for the gift of life we celebrate today. Thank You for adding another year to the life of our beloved celebrant. We honor You for Your faithfulness, protection, and provision throughout the past year.
As we gather around this table, we are grateful for the food, the laughter, and the love shared in this moment. Bless this meal, O Lord, and may it nourish our bodies as this day nourishes our hearts.
We also offer a special prayer for parents—for the love, sacrifices, and prayers they’ve poured into the life of the one we celebrate. May You bless them with strength, joy, and overflowing grace.
Let this birthday be not just a celebration of age, but of purpose, faith, and hope for the years ahead.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Reflection
A birthday is a celebration of life and God’s unending grace. Before the food, the gifts, and the games, taking time to pray reminds us who gave the gift of life—and who walks with us into the future.
