Dear Father God
Thank you Lord for life;
life eternal, but also life in the physical.
I pray for ______ who is celebrating his/her first birthday. What a priviledge it is to be
praying for him/her at such an early time in his/her life. Thank you for that priviledge.
Thank you that while he/she was in his/her mom's womb, you knitted him/her together and
already knew his/her and took delight in him/her. Thank you that the child was not an
accident, but purposed to come to earth by you with a destiny to fulfill in your Kingdom.
Equip this child for that destiny, starting today.
We thank you that we can also ask for things from Your Hand. We ask for supernatural
favour, blessings, health, wisdom, grace, annointing and a long fruitful life for ______ !
Thank you for his/her parents on whom the responsibility will rest to guide and encourage
this child. May they take refuge and comfort in You and Your Word to direct and guide.
So take control of this child, Lord, every birthday and ordinary day henceforth. May no day
be just another day, but an extra-ordinary day that You have granted.
May this prayer on this first birthday be the beginning of a journey with You that will never
end.
Thank you, Lord
In Jesus' Name
Amen.
