There are many ways of committing one’s activity to God’s hand and prayer is topmost of them. Prayer is important at the onset of every event and starting an event with prayers puts God in control of all activities.
For a second birthday party celebration, opening prayers are important prayers that help the child grow. Opening prayers are prayers that strengthen occasions and make the occasion a success.
Every opening prayer in a birthday party must include special prayers for the celebrant and these blessings in the form of prayers fight all battles as the child grows.
Opening prayers also enable the success of the event. Check out some opening prayers for 2nd birthday party below.
