Prayer for Protection from Evil
The Prayer
Heavenly Father,
surround me and my family with Your divine protection. Guard our hearts, minds, and souls from evil, temptation, and everything that seeks to lead us away from You.
Lord Jesus Christ, cover us with Your grace and give us strength to resist the enemy. Let Your light drive away all darkness and fill our home with Your peace.
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in spiritual battle, and Blessed Mother Mary, pray for us and lead us always closer to your Son.
May we remain steadfast in faith, trusting that no power can separate us from the love of God.
Amen.
