Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits, who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
Act of Consecration
Oh, most Noble Prince of the Angelic Hierarchies, valorous warrior of Almighty God, and zealous lover of His glory, terror of the rebellious angels, and love and delight of all the just, my beloved Archangel Saint Michael, desiring to be numbered among your devoted servants, I, today offer and consecrate myself to you, and place myself, my family and all I possess under your most powerful protection.
I entreat you not to look at how little I, as thy servant have to offer, being only a wretched sinner, but rather gaze, with favorable eye at the heartfelt affection with which this offering is made, and remember that, if from this day onward I am under thy patronage, you must during all my life assist me, and procure for me the pardon of my many grievous offensive sins, the grace to love with all my heart God, my dear Savior Jesus, and my Sweet Mother Mary, and obtain for me all the help necessary to arrive at my crown of glory.
Defend me always from my spiritual enemies, particularly in the last moments of my life. Come then, O Glorious Prince and succor me in my last struggle, and with your powerful weapon cast far from me and into the infernal abyss that prevaricator and proud angel that you prostrated in the celestial battle.
Accompany me then to the throne of God to sing with you, Archangel Saint Michael and all the Angels, praise, honor and glory to the One who reignes for all eternity.
Saint Michael, defend us in our daily battles so that we may not perish in the Last Judgment. Amen.
Spiritual Armor Prayer
Adapted from Ephesians 6:10-18
Heavenly Father, we ask You today for Your truth as a belt tight around our waist. We put on the zeal to announce your good news of peace as shoes for our feet.
We put on Your righteousness, O Christ, as our breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet for our head.
Father, we take up faith as a shield which is able to put out all the fiery darts of the enemy, and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word, O Lord.
Father, may the love with which You have loved Jesus be in us, and may Jesus be in us. We ask You for the grace of a servant heart. Amen.
Prayer When Weary
O Lord, I'm tired! I've been working too hard for too long, and I really need a break.
Dear God, You promise in Your Word that You will never give us more than we can handle, but sometimes we take on more than You give.
O Lord, I feel weary in my spirit, soul, and body. I need to be renewed, and I ask You to send forth the power of Your Holy Spirit upon me now. Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me! Fill me O Lord, with Your power, Your presence, Your divine presence, and Your everlasting grace.
You are the Father of Glory, and You live in unapproachable light. You are eternal, omnipotent, all-knowing, and omnipresent. Heaven and earth are full of Your glory!
O Glorious Father, fill me now with Your love, and renew my flagging strength. You are the Father of compassion and the God of all encouragement.
Encourage me, O Lord, You who are the desire of the everlasting hills. Help me learn to wait on You, O Lord, according to Your Word:
They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar as with eagles' wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint. -ISAIAH 40:31
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
