God of all creation, we offer you grateful praise for the gift of life. Hear the prayers of N., your servant, who recalls today the day of his/her birth and rejoices in your gifts of life and love, family and friends. Bless him/her with your presence and surround him/her with your love that he/she may enjoy many happy years, all of them pleasing to you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
