TABLE OF CONTENTS

It's crucial to take time on your birthday and the birthdays of others to thank the Lord for all he has given them and look forward to all the good things that are still to come.

Birthday prayers for myself

Praying for yourself on your birthday is important because it is a way to thank God for the blessings you have received throughout the year. It is also an opportunity to set time aside to reflect on your life and plan for the following year.

Legit.ng journalist contacted Adetola Seedy, the lead pastor of Peace Church Global in Canada, to share his thoughts and opinions on the significance of these prayers for one's life:

I believe prayers should be said daily because it helps us get closer to God and gives us victory in our affairs. Based on this, I think it makes sense to pray even on our birthdays, because the bible instructs us to pray without ceasing (1Thessalonians 5:17). The general idea is that we are committing our new start to God and seeking His help to make it a successful journey. For people who are disciplined enough to always pray with fervency and desire, they always enjoy victory, regardless of the date on the calendar.

Pastor Seedy further explained that there is no wisdom in praying only on special days, but every believer must take responsibility for their (spiritual) life and consistently pray over oneself.
