Birthdays are anniversaries of one's birth (as seen in Psalms 90:12). It is a day of celebration and sometimes a day of reflection on one's life.
Our birthday is supposed to be a day of joy, rejoicing, gladness, happiness and merriment. Since birthdays are always special days, most people have taken it upon themselves to extend a hand of love and care to their family, friends and loved ones on their birthdays.
A lot of gift sharing and receiving is done on that day, just to show care to the celebrant, and make the day a memorable one for them.
Even as things are done physically to celebrate that day and make it unforgettable, some things should also be done spiritually, to mark our birthdays.
I believe that every genuine Christian wouldn't just want to give physical gifts to their their friends on their birthdays, but also pray good prayers for them.
As you do all sorts of things to make the birthday of your friends and relatives memorable, also endeavour to leave an unforgettable imprint spiritually in their lives.
Prayer has always been and will always be one of the best gifts one can give to others, and also receive from others. Praying on one's birthday is a beautiful and profitable thing to do. It shows our regard for our Source and sustainer, which is God Almighty.
Seeds of prayer sown on one's birthday or on another person's birthday always yields positive and beautiful fruits.
Birthdays mark the end of a chapter and the beginning of another chapter. And at that point, one's life (like a land) is still fresh and fertile, so whatever seed is sown on that land that day, has a guarantee of speedy fruitfulness.
Praying on your birthday and praying for your friends and loved ones on their birthday is a wise thing to do. By so doing, we rightly acknowledge that God made it possible for us to see a brand new year of our life. It is also a way of inviting God to take over our life again, as we journey through another year.
Giving someone a gift of prayer on their birthday is a proof of genuine love and desire for great things to happen in that person's life. Praying for yourself on your birthday is a proof of dependency on God, desire for testimonies and dependency on God's grace.
Join us as we pray for our birthdays and that of our friends below.

Final Thoughts On Birthday Prayers
As you say words of prayer over yourself and your loved ones on their birthdays, you secure God's help and intervention for the new year.
Remember, we are to pray at all times and in all season. Whatever you commit to God doesn't suffer harm of any kind. Therefore, as you commit your life and that of you loved ones to God on birthdays, you will see a massive turnaround in your lives.
Your celebration is not complete if prayer is absent. Prayerlessness is a show of pride. The joy and happiness that comes with birthdays shouldn't stop you from making prayer investments on that day.
God bless you.
