Birthday Prayer

Thank you, God for giving me another year of life.  Thank You for all the people who remembered me by sending gifts and good wishes.  Thank You for all the experience of this past year; for times of success which will always be happy memories, for times of failure which reminded me of my own weakness and of my need for You, for times of joy when the sun was shining, for times of sadness which drove me to You.  Forgive me for the hours I wasted, for the chances I failed to take, for the opportunities I missed the past year.  Help me in the days ahead to make this the best year yet, and through it to bring good credit to myself, happiness and pride to my loved ones, and joy to You. Amen
