Birthdays are an occasion to celebrate life and express gratitude for the years that have passed.

If you are looking for religious happy birthday wishes to share with a loved one, friend, or family member, we have compiled a list of examples that you can use as inspiration.

Write a Short Message or a Prayer for Birthday Blessings

If you’re with your loved one on their birthday, you could also offer a prayer of birthday blessing, asking for God’s blessings and guidance for the person on their special day and throughout the year ahead. Whether in a card or in-person, your message can include expressions of gratitude for the person’s life and the ways in which they have touched others, as well as requests for God’s wisdom, strength, and protection in the coming year. Such a prayer may also ask for God’s blessings on the person’s family and loved ones, as well as for the world as a whole. These prayers are often deeply personal and tailored to the individual’s specific needs and circumstances, so let your imagination and God guide your heart and hand.
