A Birthday Prayer Inspired by Rabbi Natan's *Likutei Tefilot

Master of the Universe, Merciful and Compassionate One,
Today is my birthday—[insert Hebrew date of birth]—the day You, in Your boundless kindness, brought me into this world.

You formed me, body and soul, with a unique purpose, granting me the gift of life and the power to choose between good and evil.

I stand before You, [your name, or people you pray for them], with a heart full of gratitude for every breath, every moment, every opportunity You have given me.

Ribono Shel Olam, today is a time of blessing and renewal.
I thank You for my life, for the kindness and patience You have shown me, even when I have strayed.
You sustain me with love, with opportunities to grow, to correct my mistakes, and to deepen my faith.
On this sacred day, I lift my eyes to You, asking for strength, wisdom, and peace for the year ahead.

Grant me success, O Hashem, in all areas of my life:
🌿 In my work—bless my efforts, that they may bear good fruit. Help me succeed with honesty, diligence, and joy, knowing that my sustenance comes from You alone.
🌿 In my family—bless my home with love, peace, and understanding. Help me be a source of warmth, patience, and kindness to my spouse, my children, and all those around me.
🌿 In my friendships and social life—help me see the good in others, to be accepting and kind, not to judge harshly or hold grudges, but to create harmony and unity among those I meet.

Bless me with self-mastery and peace of mind:
🌿 Keep me from anger and frustration, from being overly critical or demanding of others.
🌿 Let me have a calm and joyful heart, trusting in You and accepting life's challenges with faith.
🌿 Strengthen my patience and humility, so I may respond to difficulties with wisdom, not emotion.

Help me raise good and successful children:
🌿 Grant me the wisdom to guide them with love, to be a source of inspiration and support.
🌿 Help them grow into kind, faithful, and successful people, walking in Your ways with joy.
🌿 Protect them from harm, from bad influences, and from straying from the path of Torah and goodness.

### **Let me love and enjoy my spiritual life:**
🌿 Give me a heart that finds joy in Your mitzvot, in prayer, in learning, and in giving to others.
🌿 Help me seek closeness to You, not just in times of need, but always.
🌿 Let me taste the sweetness of faith, the peace that comes from knowing that You are guiding every step of my journey.

Hashem, my Father, my King
On this birthday, I pray that I may become a better person—
More patient, more generous, more grateful, more connected to You.
May this year be filled with success, good health, and joy.
May I bring blessing to those around me, and may my life be a source of light in this world.

**"Satisfy me with long life and show me Your salvation" (Psalm 91:16).**
**"May He grant me my heart's desires and not withhold the request of my lips" (Psalm 21:3).**

Let my words and the meditations of my heart be pleasing before You,
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Amen and Amen.
