Prayer for a Birthday

Lord God, Ruler of all the visible and invisible world, from Your holy will depend all the days and years of my life. I thank You, Merciful Father, that You have allowed me to live another year; I know that because of my sins and transgressions I am not worthy of this mercy, yet You grant it to me from Your ineffable love for man. Extend Your mercy still to me, imperfect and sinful one, extend my life in true repentance and virtue, in piety and peace with all my relatives and in harmony with all my neighbors.

Grant me abundance of earthly fruits and all that is necessary to satisfy my needs. Moreover, cleanse my conscience and heal my soul and body; strengthen me with Your Holy Spirit on the path of salvation, that I, walking it, after a long life in this world, passing into eternal life, may be worthy to become an heir of Your Heavenly Kingdom. You alone, Lord, bless this year which I begin, and all the days of my life. Amen.
