Happy Birthday Prayer
Hear, dear Lord*, my prayer for Joyce…
Always uplift her active poise,
Protect her from frustration’s noise;
Propel her moves with smart choice…
Yes, make her constantly rejoice!
Beautify her life with Your grace
In her victorious lady-race;
Revitalize her senior pace…
Through Your grand, magnificent ways.
Hold her up for more fruitful days…
Directing her toward glorious place
As she gives You honor and praise
Yearning for favor midst delays.
Pave for her another great road
Ready to greet her success-load
Affirming her with thumbs-up code
“You’ve fulfilled works in well-done mode.”
Extend to her Your wisdom goad
Revealing chance-brands, best and broad!
Fortify her with gladness’ might
Order her steps upward peace-height
Rekindle her faith of heaven’s light!
Joys* for her, keep on bestowing…
Optimize her blessings’ flowing
Yet guard her against stress-blowing;
Cheer her for triumphant growing
Empower her healthy glowing!!!
*Psalm 32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
