O Most Merciful and Almighty Father,
In the boundless love of Your Divine Providence, You have not left me, Your humble servant, defenseless against the snares of the Evil One. Your Sacred Word, a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path, is my shield against the fiery darts of the wicked, and the sword of the Spirit with which I shall conquer. I place all my trust in Your unwavering promises, O Lord, for You are my strength and my salvation.
I proclaim and decree, with unwavering faith, that Your holy will shall be done in my life, and that the machinations of the enemy shall be utterly confounded and brought to naught. Your Word, O Lord, is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Upon this Truth, I firmly stand this day.
When the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, I invoke the life-giving power of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I cling to the promise of Your holy Psalmist: “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” (Psalm 118:17) Though I may be pressed on every side, I shall not be crushed; though perplexed, I shall not despair; persecuted, I shall not be abandoned; struck down, I shall not be destroyed, for the Lord is with me. (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)
Most loving Father, deliver me from every trap and hidden danger set by the enemy. Shelter me beneath the shadow of Your wings, O Most High. You are my faithful God, and therefore I shall not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. Though a thousand may fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand, it shall not come near me, for You, O Lord, are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. (Psalm 91)
I firmly embrace Your divine plan for my life, a plan of peace and not of evil, to give me a future filled with hope. (Jeremiah 29:11) I consecrate myself anew to Your service, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and all the angels and saints.
Lord, through the illuminating grace of the Holy Spirit, reveal to me any vulnerabilities, any hidden doorways in my heart or mind, through which the enemy might seek to gain entry. Grant me the wisdom and strength, through Your grace, to firmly shut and seal these openings with the power of Your holy Name. I trust, O Lord, that You will uphold me with Your righteous right hand, and that no weapon forged against me shall prosper. (Isaiah 54:17)
In Your unfailing love and protection, I find my rest. All glory, honor, and praise be to You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and forever.
Through the most holy and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, I pray.
Amen.
