Today is My Sister-in-law’s Birthday. I haven’t seen her very often lately since my family moved farther away, thank God for her blog Together For A Reason! But aside from the joy I get from reading her blog, I am reminded that she is such an amazing mother, woman of faith, and wife AND that we share a lot of joy for praying God’s Word and sharing the prayers with the world so I thought this one would be special, in honor of her! I found this prayer over at (Joyful Living , turns out it was written by this blogger’s sister in law! Since it was originally written for her 7 year old nephew’s birthday, I had to tweak it just a tad 
. I will now save it and make a new tradition for my whole family one their birthdays! Here it is:
Lord Jesus,
It is our joy and honor to pray for Amy on this special day. How grateful we are that You thought of making her Amy and that from the moment of conception, You’ve been making her just exactly the way You wanted. (Psalms 139:13)
Today we pray that Amy will celebrate this new year of life by reaching for YOUR best. Stand by her in every challenge. Bring light in every time of uncertainty. Thank You that You are able to make all grace abound to her, so that in all thing, at all times, having all that she needs, she will abound in every good work (II Corinthians 9:8).
Today we claim Your mighty power and Your unfailing promises on behalf of Amy. On this special day of cake and gifts and balloons may she be able to grasp hold of the greatest gift of all – to know how wide and long and high and deep Your love really is (Ephesians 3:19).
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
