For you, our precious son,
We send a birthday prayer
That you may know God’s love
With the unfolding of each year
And that you’ll come to know
God’s purpose and His plan
As you walk with God through life
Together, hand in hand.

Lord of all that lives,
Today we give thanks that you created Joshua .
Thank you for placing him in our family.
With each year that passes, make this dear child more like you.
Teach him to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk in humble fellowship with you.
May he delight in your creation
And glorify you in his heart
As he discovers the talents and abilities you have given to him.
As his will becomes stronger,
Teach him self-control
And help him to walk in obedience
To your will and your commands.
Thank you for the delight of knowing this child,
Made in your image,
And give me the wisdom to shepherd his heart in paths of righteousness,
For the sake of your name.
Amen.
