Dear God,
As I celebrate my birthday, I humbly ask for the strength and wisdom to live a wildly authentic and deeply meaningful life, and the compassion to be of service and move humanity forward. May I always remember the gift of life and be a hero of my own story, grateful for the borrowed time I've been granted.
Amen.
