If you are reading this and it is your birthday today, happy birthday, and may God richly bless you. The fact that you are still alive means that God is not done with you.

On my birthday, I normally make a birthday prayer to myself. A birthday prayer affords one an opportunity to express gratitude to God and also make desires and requests known to Him. In my birthday prayer, I thank God for his blessings, but I also ask him for more blessings.

So if you don’t know what to say on your birthday prayer, there is plenty of birthday prayers that you can choose from.

What can I say to myself on my birthday?

On your birthday, you can thank God for protecting you and declare the things you want to see happening in your life. For example:

Lord, I thank you for protecting me since the day I was conceived in my mother’s womb. I have seen your grace throughout all the stages of my life. You were with me when I was a baby, a toddler, a kid, a young person, and even now at this age, I am still experiencing your goodness.

And because you have not failed me or neither given up on me, I also refuse to give up on myself. I will continue to push forward. Lord I also ask that you bless me with wisdom, good marriage, kids, financial breakthrough, great relationships, good health, and long life, and may I never lack any good thing. I know you will grant me, Lord. Happy Birthday to me!

What is the best prayer for birthday?

Lord, I thank you for keeping my life this far. You have carried me since I was in my mother’s womb and now I am older and you still have not forsaken me. And I know that you will not forsake me. You know what I have been through and you know what I am still going to encounter. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. I thank you and I love you, Lord. Happy Birthday to myself!
