1. "May the Lord bless you on this special day of your birth and throughout the year ahead. Happy birthday! May you grow in His grace and knowledge, just as it says in 2 Peter 3:18. 'But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.'"
2. "Happy birthday! On your birthday, I pray that God's love surrounds you like a warm embrace. As Psalm 139:14 says, 'I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.' May you always remember how wonderfully God has made you."
3. "As you celebrate another year of life, may the wisdom from above be yours, as described in James 3:17. 'But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peaceable, gentle, submissive, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.' Happy birthday, and may God guide your steps in the coming year."
4. "Happy birthday! May the Lord shine His light upon you and fill your heart with His peace, just as it is written in Isaiah 26:3, 'You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on you, because they trust in you.' May you trust in the Lord always and experience His perfect peace."
5. "On your birthday, I pray that God's blessings pour down on you like rain on a thirsty land. As Deuteronomy 28:2 says, 'All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God.' May you walk in obedience and receive His abundant blessings. Happy birthday!"
6. "Happy birthday! May you be like a tree planted by the waters, as described in Jeremiah 17:8, 'They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in harvest time and never fails to bear fruit.' May you thrive in the Lord and bear much fruit this year."
7. "As you mark this new year of life, may the Lord's strength be your strength, as in Isaiah 40:31, 'But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.' Happy birthday, and may you find renewed strength in the Lord."
8. "Happy birthday! May the grace of God be sufficient for you in every situation, just as it was for Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9, 'But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” So I will boast all about my weakness so that the power of Christ can be shown in me.' May Christ's power be shown in you this year."
9. "On your birthday, I pray that you experience the joy of the Lord, which is your strength, as Nehemiah 8:10 says, 'Do not be sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.' May your heart be filled with His joy and may it carry you through the year. Happy birthday!"

"As you celebrate your birthday, may the Holy Spirit guide you in all your decisions, as Jesus promised in John 14:26, 'But the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, will come to you from the Father, and will teach you all things, and will remind you of all things.' Happy birthday, and may the Spirit lead you well."
12. "Happy birthday! May you have a heart that is soft towards God's Word, like the good soil in the parable of the sower, as told in Mark 4:20, 'Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.' May you receive and bear fruit from God's Word this year."
13. "On your birthday, I pray that God's faithfulness is evident in your life, as it is said in Lamentations 3:22-23, 'Because of the LORD's great love we are not left alone. His faithfulness endures forever. His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.' May you experience His faithfulness daily. Happy birthday!"
14. "Happy birthday! May the Lord use you as a vessel of His love to touch the lives of those around you, as in 2 Timothy 2:21, 'If anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honorable use, sanctified and useful to the Lord, prepared for every good work.' May you be a blessing to others this year."
15. "As you enter this new year of life, may the Lord give you a spirit of discernment, as it is written in 1 Corinthians 2:14, 'The natural man does not understand the things of the Spirit of God, for they are not accessible to him. But the man who is spiritual understands.' Happy birthday, and may you have the ability to discern God's will clearly."
16. "Happy birthday! May you find rest in the Lord, as Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-29, 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am a serviceable master and you will find rest for your souls.' May you experience His rest this year."
17. "On your birthday, I pray that God's protection surrounds you like a shield, as it is written in Psalm 91:4, 'He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find shelter; his shield of protection will be around you.' May you be safe in the Lord's care. Happy birthday!"
18. "Happy birthday! May you be filled with the fruits of the Spirit, as listed in Galatians 5:22-23, 'But the fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.' May these fruits be evident in your life this year."
19. "On your birthday, I pray that you grow in your relationship with the Lord, as it is said in Philippians 3:10, 'I want to know Christ—yes, to know his body, to know his death and resurrection, to know his suffering and to know his victory.' Happy birthday, and may you deepen your connection with God this year."
20. "Happy birthday! May the Lord's plan for your life unfold before you like a beautiful tapestry, as it is written in Jeremiah 29:11, 'For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD. They are not a random set of plans. They are plans for your good—plans to give you a better life, plans to make you happy.' May you trust in the Lord's plans and have a wonderful year."
