Lord my God, in you I trusted; save me; rescue me from all who pursue me, lest someone maul me like a lion, tear my soul apart with no one to deliver. God is a shield above me saving the upright of heart. I will thank the Lord in accordance with his justice; I will sing the name of the Lord Most High. Psalm 7
We all need protection from the evil one and from all that comes against us in our daily walk with the Lord. When I picture a shield, I immediately think of St. Michael the Archangel in all his armor coming to protect me and my family from the evil one.
I call upon Michael the Archangel everyday to come and do battle on my behalf. God is my shield and He will defend us. He sends his mighty warrior Michael the Archangel and his angelic helpers to defend us in all circumstances. In calling upon the holy angels to come and defend and protect us, we can indeed stand firm and sing praise to the name of the Lord even in the midst of the battle.
We are each assigned a guardian angel for protection however sometimes you need Michael the Archangel to assist our guarding angel to defeat the wickedness and snares of the Devil. “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” Psalm 91:11
Let us prayer: St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
