St. Michael Protection Prayer (Supplication)
St. Michael, defender of souls, hear me in this hour of trembling need.
I call upon you—not with confidence, but with desperation—
for the weight on my spirit is heavy and the shadows feel near.
Stand before me as the shield I cannot lift.
Stand beside me as the strength I do not have.
Stand above me as the warrior Heaven has assigned to guard my life.
Drive out every fear that has wrapped itself around my mind.
Break every unseen attack that rises against my home, my family, my peace.
Where darkness plots, let your sword strike first.
Where danger forms, let your wings surround me.
Where evil whispers, let your voice thunder it silent.
St. Michael, I plead with you—go before me into this day.
Walk the roads I must walk.
Enter the rooms I must enter.
Guard the steps I cannot foresee.
In the Name of Jesus,
seal me beneath your protection,
cover me with Heaven’s strength,
and let no force, no curse, no fear,
have power over me.
Defend me,
fight for me,
and do not leave my side.
Amen.
