Alhamdulillah, last Monday I celebrated my 33rd birthday.
A birthday prayer for myself, which I googled.
Thank you Allah, for giving me another year of life.
Thank you for all the people who remembered me today by sending good wishes.
Thank you for all the experience of this past year;
for times of success which will always be happy memories,
for times of failure which reminded me of my own weakness,
for times of joy when the sun was shining,
for times of sadness which drove me to You.
Forgive me
for the hours I wasted,
for the chances I failed to take,
for the opportunities I missed this past year.
Help me in the days ahead to make this the best year yet,
and through it, with Your blessing and Guidance, to bring good credit to myself,
happiness and pride to my loved ones,
and joy to You.
Amin.
