Birthday Blessing Prayer


3 John 1:2
Dear friend, 
I pray that you may enjoy good health 
and that all may go well with you, 
even as your soul is getting along well.



Loving God, 
you created all the people of the world 
and you know each of us by name. 
We thank you for [NAME]
who today celebrates his/her birthday. 
Bless him/her with your love and friendship 
that he/she may grow in wisdom, knowledge, and grace. 
Grant this through Christ our Lord. 
Amen.

May the Lord bless [Name] and keep him/her;
May the Lord shed his light upon [Name],
May the Lord look upon him/her kindly 
and give him/her peace.

The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.


Psalm 118:24
The Lord has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.

God our Creator, 
the birth of your child Jesus 
brought great joy to Mary and Joseph. 
We give thanks to you for [NAME] 
whose birthday we celebrate today. 
May he/she ever grow 
in your faith, hope, and love. 
We ask this in the name 
of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
Amen

Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me 
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

For we are God’s handiwork, 
created in Christ Jesus to do good works, 
which God prepared in advance for us to do.
