A short and powerful birthday prayer for your son as he turns 1 is a blessing like no other. As parents, we have the power and authority to shape our son’s lives and destiny through prayers. You cannot do this at any other better time than when he is still young and innocent.
Proverbs 22:6 (NIV) – “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
You can start off your son in the way of prayer, especially during his first birthday. A child who has been raised in a family rooted in prayer grows in the ways of God.
Prayer for Blessings for My Son as He Turns 1
Numbers 6:24 (NIV) – “The Lord bless you and keep you.”
- Heavenly Father, You are the source of every perfect gift and every good blessing. As my son turns 1 today, I humbly ask You to release Your blessings in every aspect of His life. I speak divine blessings over his health. In the powerful name of Jesus, I declare blessings over his future. I decree and declare that he will be a prosperous man in the land and in the city. I claim all the covenant blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob upon him. Father, I pray that Your blessings may accompany him in his studies and everything he does. May the blessings from above be his portion forever and ever.
Prayer for Wisdom
Luke 2:52 (NIV) – “And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.”
- Dear Lord, Your Word says that those who lack wisdom should ask You to grant it to them. I praise You because You give wisdom abundantly without finding fault. Today, I pray that Your favor and grace may rest upon my son. Just as Jesus grew in wisdom, I pray for the same over my son. I ask You to guide his steps from this tender age. Father, align his thoughts, desires, and actions with Your will. Even as a young child, may he always make wise decisions. In Your name, I pray. Amen.
Birthday Prayer for Protection
Psalms 121:7-8 (NIV) – “The Lord will keep you from all harm; He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
- Almighty God, I thank You for Your promises of protection from evil, harm, injury, sickness, and everything that threatens our well-being. I call upon You to watch over my son’s life and cover him with Your protective wings. Father, command Your angels to stand guard and watch over him as he goes out, as he sleeps, and all the time. I ask You to form a fiery hedge of protection around him so that no harm or disaster may come near him. I declare Your protection upon him from illnesses and attacks on his health. In the mighty name of Jesus, I break the power of all generational sickness that seeks to bind my son and deny him the opportunity to enjoy good health. I rebuke every spiritual and demonic attack against my son’s life. In Jesus’ name, I bind the power of the evil one that may rise against him. I render powerless every weapon and every demonic arrow fired at him. Lord, let Your protection cover every aspect of his life. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Prayer for the Fulfillment of God’s Plan and Purpose
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) – “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
- Heavenly Father, I know You created my son for a special purpose. As we celebrate his first birthday today, I pray that every plan and every purpose may come to fruition. May Your plan to prosper him and give him a future never fail. I ask You to reveal to us and to him his calling and his purpose on earth. Please grant us the grace and the wisdom to nurture him so that he can be useful in Your kingdom. In the mighty name of Jesus, I come against any evil spirit and any power that seeks to thwart Your plan for my son’s life. I bind every demon and every deceiving spirit that may seek to turn him away from his purpose. Father, I pray that Your purpose for his professional life may start taking shape even now. Receive all the glory for the manifestation of every plan You have for him. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
Birthday Prayer for Long Life
Psalms 91:16 (NIV) – “With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
- Dear Lord, I give You praise, adoration, and honor for the gift of my son. I thank You for the breath You placed in him since the first day. As he turns 1 today, I ask You to bless him with long life as You promise in Psalm 91:16. In the powerful name of Jesus, I pray against every spirit of premature death that may pursue him. I speak the blessings of long life and fulfillment over him. Father, I call upon You to reverse every arrow of death back to the sender. I break the pattern of untimely death that may be running in his family line. Every power of the grave that may be pursuing him, I nullify it right now. I silence the voices of his forefathers who died premature deaths and are now speaking over his life. Father, I ask You to silence them for good and break their influence. By the authority of Jesus Christ, I declare and decree that he will not die but will live long to declare Your wonderful deeds in the land of the living. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
Short Birthday Prayer for Good Health
Jeremiah 33:6 (NIV) – “Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.”
- Good Lord, all glory and honor belongs to You. I thank You for the assurance that You will bring good health and healing upon us. Today, as my son celebrates his first birthday, I ask You to bless him with good health. In the name of Jesus, I declare and decree that he will enjoy abundant health in every season. I break the power of territorial diseases, seasonal illnesses, allergies, generational ailments, disease outbreaks, and every other medical condition. Your Word says that You have given us power to trample on all the works of the enemy. Today, by the power of the Holy Spirit, I trample on every attempt of the evil one to cause suffering and discomfort through sickness. I cancel and destroy every plan of the enemy to inflict illnesses on my son’s body. In the name of Jesus, I disrupt and frustrate all the plans of satan to steal and destroy my son’s health. I plead the blood of Jesus over him today, and I declare that no sickness will attack him because he is covered by the blood of the Lamb. Amen.
Birthday Prayer to Break Foundations and Generational Curses
Galatians 3:13 (NIV) – “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.”
Mighty Father, You are the chain breaker, and the God who delivers Your people from generational bondages. I lift up my son to You as he turns 1 today. Father, I please Your mercy and grace upon him. You understand his bloodline better than I do. I know You know every foundation, every pattern, and every chain in his lineage more than do. You know the ancestors and forefathers I have never even met or seen. I cry out to You, O God, for deliverance from every foundational curse. Dear Lord, I call upon You to deliver him from every generational curse from his father’s house. I ask You to break and end the curse from his mother’s house that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Today, I ask You to cleanse and sanctify him with the blood of Jesus. May the power of the blood redeem him from every generational affliction. I declare and decree that he will not suffer the problems suffered by people in his lineage because Christ has redeemed him from this pattern. Father, I ask You to destroy every generational altar speaking in my son’s life. In Jesus’ name, I bring down every foundational stronghold that tries to attach itself to him. I ask You to set him free completely as You promise in John 8:36, and let God reign over his life. Amen.
