Prayers for Protection: Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts and feelings? Have you been living your life without God, and feel you need His help to heal you of the spiritual, emotional, and physical ailments you are suffering from? Do you have a loved one who is struggling with habitual sin? Are you looking for healing prayers of protection against evil?
Establish a habit of prayer whenever you are tempted. But you cannot expect to overcome evil without the help of the church. Contact a priest and ask for a confession. Go to Mass frequently and only receive Holy Communion in a state of grace. Pray the Saint Michael prayer and a daily rosary. Go to Eucharistic adoration and pray prayers of protection in the presence of Our Lord. Blessed sacramentals like a Saint Benedict medal or a Miraculous medal can also give you added protection. Sprinkle holy water throughout your home, especially in the doorways and Windows.
Do not listen to anything the devil tries to lead you to believe or do. He is a Liar and is not telling you the truth about yourself, and Jesus is stronger than he is. Remain in prayer when you are under attack and God will give you the grace you need to persevere.
