Father God, we honor You for You are the author of life. You gave us our lives as a great gift, and we treasure it accordingly. On this day, I’d like to thank You, God, for giving my friend another year to enjoy. Thank You for sustaining him/her for the past years of his/her life, and I continue to trust that You will sustain him/her this year.

As we celebrate this special occasion in my friend’s life, I pray Lord that You be with him/her. Let him/her not forget all the blessings You have showered upon his/her life. May he/she remember to be thankful in every circumstance, especially on this day of celebrating another year of life.

I also ask the Holy Spirit to fill my dear friend’s heart with gladness and peace. Above the good food, great company, and fun festivities, I ask You, God, to let my friend experience true happiness. May he/she be happy on his/her birthday from within as well.
