A Birthday Blessing

(suitable as a message in a birthday card)

May happiness and love encircle this day,
And every blessing from heaven come your way.
May the warmth of loved ones lift your heart,
And your cup overflow with the love they impart.

May fond memories bring you great joy and peace,
And hope fill your sails with the promise you seek.
But most of all, may you truly know,
How you’re treasured and loved wherever you go.

Happy Birthday Prayer Poem

for a precious son or daughter
(suitable as a prayer blessing for a birthday card)

It is such a joy to remember your birthday,
And celebrate all you are.
We hoped and we prayed to have a child
And we were given you, our little star.

You've shone into our lives and brought
Such happiness and delight.
Making us so very thankful,
You're so funny, kind and bright.

We've watched you grow every day
So proud of all you do.
And tried to gently guide and care,
We really do love you.

And so we pray now, giving thanks,
And praise on this special day.
We hope you'll know how wonderful
You are in every way.

(A traditional Episcopal prayer)

O God, our times are in your hand:
Look with favor, we pray, on your servant N. as he begins another year.
Grant that he may grow in wisdom and grace, and strengthen his trust in your goodness all the days of his life;

My Own Birthday Prayer

(a birthday prayer for myself)

Father, thank you for today
For all the cards and gifts
All the tokens of love that remind me of how I am loved and appreciated.
Today I remember that you are my creator and sustainer
In you I live and move and have my being
I thank you for your faithfulness and care through the years
I commit this birthday to You

May I honour You as You have given to me
This special day and each day of my life
I want to know You more
Take 'time out' to be with You more
and love You more.

Amen.
