My son’s birthday is coming up here in a few months and I have already begun thinking of what we can do and different ways to make his day extra special. This has led me into making my own “Birthday Prayer for Son from Mom” printables. Let me tell you a little bit about how and why I got started making these.
Starting to plan a birthday a few month’s early may sound crazy, but I have my reasons. First, I like to start planning birthday parties early. This takes all the last minute pressure off of me and it is always more fun when there is less stress! Another reason I start to plan early is because it seems to me that time is flying by FAST and I want to capture these moments with my children in our home before they move into adulthood. Lastly, we are a blended family and for anyone who has to split time with another parent you know that making the most of every moment you have with your kiddos is the highest priority.
A Special Gift for a Blessed Birthday
With all that being said birthdays are kinda a big deal in our family. We always joke that it seems more like a birth “month” rather than a birthday! This year as I was pondering what to do I kept going back to the thought that I wanted something for my son to keep long after his birthday was over. Something other than happy birthday wishes that he could carry with him throughout his whole life. As he transitions from a young boy into an adult man I want him to have something tangible to encourage him in his walk with Christ. Something to comfort him when he needs love and keep him strong when he faces challenges.
That’s when I decide to create a personalized birthday prayer to son from mom. I am sharing these with you in hopes that you can use them and that they would bring your son true happiness as he starts a new year of his life. The best thing about this is they are all free to print! You can give them as a gift to your son. You can also print them out for yourself to keep and pray, I plan on doing both. I want my son to have these special prayers that I have given him over the years to look over throughout his life.

Birthday Prayer for Son’s Health
It is important to pray for a son’s health. As he transitions into adulthood, he will face many challenges that can test his physical and mental well-being. These challenges can include things like illness, injuries, and stress. By praying for his health, we are asking the good Lord to protect him from these things and to help him stay strong.
There will be times when we will not be able to be our son’s side as he faces these things. When our son’s were little it was very easy to care for them when they were sick or injured. However, as they grow and move out of our homes it is unlikely that we will know when he is under the weather or in need of healing.
Before we allow this thought to cause any worry in our hearts we must stop and remember that God knows everything! He will be with your son wherever he goes! He will heal and comfort him when we cannot! Do not forget this dear mama, we have access to the Lord almighty and He is willing to hear our prayers. He loves your son more than you can ever imagine. Take this prayer and pray it whenever you are fearful for your sons health and let the peace of God’s presence wash over you.
This special prayer is based on the bible passages, Psalm 91, 3 John 2, Psalm 37:40 and Psalm 5:11.
Dear Father,
I pray that _______ will enjoy good health and all will go well with him. When he is near or far from me let him lie in peace for you alone Lord will keep him safe. Teach __________ to take refuge in you and protect him from the evil one. Do not let him fear the terror by the night, nor any type of plague or sickness because he has made you his fortress and shield. Let him dwell in your shelter and rest in your shadow. Be with him in trouble and deliver him for honor. Satisfy him with a long life and show him your salvation.
Amen
Birthday Prayer to Son from Mom About Having Wisdom
A mother’s prayer for her dear son to grow in God’s wisdom are some of the most powerful prayers that she can offer. A son who is wise in the ways of the Lord will bring much joy. He will be able to navigate through life’s challenges with confidence. He will also be a light to those around him, sharing the love of Christ with everyone he meets.
If you are looking for birthday prayers for your son that focus on wisdom, consider the following prayer. This prayer is based on Proverbs 3:5-6, which says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray that ______________ will grow in wisdom and understanding. I pray that he will trust in you with all of his heart and lean not on his own understanding. Help him to always acknowledge you in everything he does, and I pray that you would make his path straight. Give _____________ wisdom when he is faced with difficult decisions, and help him to always choose what is right and good. I pray that your divine wisdom would be a light to him in the dark places, and that he would use it to help others find their way as well.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Your Son’s Future Wife
Moms I don’t think we pray enough for our sons’ future wife. We need to do this because she is going to be someone our son spends the rest of his life with. She is going to be his best friend, his confidante, and the one he turns to for support. Our desire is for her to have a close relationship with God. And we want her to be a woman of Godly character. Let’s pray that our son will find a woman like that, and we also need to pray for the woman he does find. This prayer is based on 1 Peter 4:8, Romans 14:19, Mark 10:9.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray for _______________ future wife. Let her be a godly woman with a close relationship to you. I pray that she would be a woman of strong character and integrity. Let her be someone my son can confide in and lean on for support. Protect them against divorce or marital strife. What you have joined together Lord, let no one separate. Show them how to love each other deeply, for love covers a multitude of sins. Let them make every effort to do what leads to peace. Teach them both to be each others best friend, and that they would have a strong, healthy marriage.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Prayers to the Lord for Your Son’s Spiritual Safety
As a mother, one of my deepest desires for my children is to inherit salvation and be saved. When I read 3 John 1:4 which says,” I have no greater joy than to hear my children are walking in truth” my heart leaps inside of me and quickens as this is truly the deepest desire of my heart. I long to see the day when my children are grown and are choosing for themselves to walk with the Lord. I do not want to simply pass on my faith to them. Instead I want them to take a hold of their own faith and follow the Lord all the days of their life.
This prayer is from the scriptures 2 Peter 3:9, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, James 4:7-8.
Dear Lord,
Give __________ the weapons he needs to demolish strongholds, arguments, and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. Lord, help ________ to take captive every thought he has and make it obedient to Christ. Help him to submit to you, O God, and resist the devil. Make the devil flee from ________ as he draws near to you. I ask that my son will come to know you personally as his Lord and Savior. I pray that he would be saved and inherit your salvation. Lord you desire no man to perish, but for all to come to repentance. Cause _______________ to walk in truth and always choose to follow you. Teach him to be bold in his faith and not be afraid to share the gospel with others.
Give him spiritual safety and protection. I pray that he would be surrounded by other believers who will encourage him in his faith. Give him your power to stay strong in his faith, even when life is difficult and grow into a great man.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Praying for Your Son to Love God’s Word
Our sons must know the Bible because it is the Word of God. We must ask ourselves how we can expect them to walk with the Lord all the days of their lives if they do not even know what God says or what He is like? Following the Lord begins with being a personal love relationship with Him. Reading God’s word will create a love relationship between your son and God. This is the foundation to all other things.

I pray that he would hide your Word in his heart so that he would not sin against you. Let regular reading of your word would always be a part of his life.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
