Spiritual Warfare: A Perimeter Prayer for Protection - DELIVERANCE PRAYERS FOR THE LAITY

BEFORE YOU SAY THESE PRAYERS

Guidelines for Deliverance Prayers for the Laity

1) The prayers included in this section are for use by the Laity.

2) The prayers in this section are typically phrased to be used for praying over oneself.  All individuals have authority over their own selves and bodies and thus they are free to use both imprecatory prayers (directly commanding demons to leave) and deprecatory prayers (prayers directed to God to cast out the demons).

 3) In the case of praying these prayers for others who are not under their direct authority, we recommend the faithful adjust the prayers so that they are directed to God, thus making it a deprecatory prayer. For their own pastoral protection, we recommend that faithful not use imprecatory prayers, ie., directly commanding demons to leave, over others whom they do not have authority.

4) In accordance with natural law, the laity have authority over their own selves, their spouses and their children.  In these cases, they have the authority to use imprecatory prayers.

Perimeter Protection Prayer from Saint Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal (DELIVERANCE PRAYERS FOR THE LAITY - Msgr.Rossetti)

Heavenly Father, I ask that You establish a perimeter of protection around myself (and N.), immersing all of us, our loved ones, our associates, our property, possessions, resources and all in our lives that is provided by Your Paternal goodness.

I further ask Heavenly Father through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Michael the Archangel that You would send Your angels and saints to stand guard over us, our works, our ministries, and all that is done in the Name of Your Beloved Son, preserving us from all evil influence and demonic retaliation, including any and all curses and occult actions sent against us.

I especially ask that You preserve us from all that we may be especially susceptible to in our lives, barring the demons or any of Satan’s minions from harming or harassing us in any way, rendering them all spiritually deaf, dumb, blind and completely powerless.

I ask that You disempower and remove all evil influences that seek to empower, aid, or strengthen the demons or their minions seeking to harm us. I further ask that You grant an abundance of blessings to us, our family members near and far, our priests, and all our loved ones.  We ask all this in the Name of Jesus Your Beloved Son, trusting in His Divine Mercy, and through the intercession of His Most Blessed Mother. Amen.
