Prayer on my birthday

Lord,

It's my birthday!

Thank you for the gift of life.

Thank you for another year.

I pray for health, strength, and well-being in the coming year.

May I celebrate each day as a gift,

sometimes with cake and presents,

and always with joy and gratitude.

My son told me recently:

"Birthdays are good for you.

The more you have the longer you live!"

So Lord,

here's to more birthdays.

Here's to more days to celebrate your love.

Here's to more joy in daily living.

Thank you for the gift of today!

Amen.
