Prayer to Archangel Michael for every day

Holy and great Archangel of God Michael, the inscrutable and all-essential Trinity, the first primate of the Angels, the guardian and guardian of the human race, crushing with his army the head of the proud Denis in heaven and putting to shame his malice and deceit on earth! We resort to you with faith and we pray to you with love: be an indestructible shield and a strong shield for the Holy Church and our Orthodox Fatherland, protecting them with your lightning sword from all enemies, visible and invisible. Do not, O Archangel of God, forsake us through your help and intercession, who today glorify your holy name: behold, even though we are many sinners, we do not want to perish in our iniquities, but to turn to the Lord and be quickened by Him to do good deeds . Illuminate our minds with the light of God’s face, which shines on your lightning-like brow, so that we can understand that God’s will for us is good and perfect, and that we know all that it is fitting for us to do and that which we should despise and abandon. Strengthen our weak will and weak will with the grace of the Lord, so that, having established ourselves in the law of the Lord, we will cease to be dominated by earthly thoughts and the lusts of the flesh, carried away in the likeness of senseless children by the soon-to-perish beauties of this world, as if for the sake of the corruptible and earthly it is foolish to forget the eternal and heavenly. For all of these, ask us from above for the spirit of true repentance, unfeigned sadness for God and contrition for our sins, so that we may spend the remaining number of days of our temporary life not in pleasing our feelings and working with our passions, but in erasing the evils we have committed with tears of faith and contrition of heart, deeds of purity and holy deeds of mercy. When the hour of our end approaches, liberation from the bonds of this mortal body, do not leave us. Archangel of God, defenseless against the spirits of wickedness in heaven, accustomed to block the souls of mankind from rising to heaven, yes, protected by you, we will reach those glorious villages of paradise without stumbling, where there is no sorrow, no sighing, but endless life, and, being honored to see the bright face of the All-Blessed Lord and Master ours, falling with tears at His feet, let us exclaim in joy and tenderness: glory to Thee, our dearest Redeemer, Who for Thy great love for us, unworthy, was pleased to send Thy angels to serve our salvation! Amen.

Life situations require constant meetings with new people and old acquaintances. Unfortunately, not everyone around us wishes us well. Many people, and sometimes even relatives, envy us and say a lot of bad things about us in their hearts. Sometimes human anger goes beyond all boundaries and completely absorbs a person, giving rise to only one desire in him - to harm. A person takes upon himself a great sin and turns to witches and fortune-tellers to cause damage. In order to protect yourself and your family from harm, you need to be as close to God as possible and turn only to Heaven.

Prayer to Archangel Michael is a powerful daily weapon against misfortunes and bad words from ill-wishers. The powerful “wing” of the Archangel will protect the worshiper from damage and the evil eye. The Superangel is considered by Orthodox Christians to be one of the most powerful Celestials, the protector of the spirit and soul of all living things.

The Supreme (main) angel acts as the leader of the Lord's army and the archangel. It was under the leadership of Saint Michael that the army of God fought against the devil and demons. The majesty and power of the Archangel patronized the Jewish people in the difficult struggle against paganism. The events took place long before the birth of Christ.

The exploits of the archangel are innumerable. During the trek through the desert from Egypt, Archangel Michael showed the way to Moses and the Jewish people. At the fall of the walls of Jericho, it was this highest angel who appeared before Joshua. All the miracles that the angel performed are stored in the memory and history of the Orthodox Church. This and much more contributes to the fact that the icon of the Archangel provides strong protection to believers. Prayers that ascend to heaven in front of this holy image are able to protect people from any misfortune, evil eye and damage.

Prayer to Archangel Michael - very strong protection

The image of the supreme angel on the icon is visualized with a sharp, threatening sword in his hand. However, it is not aimed at people. The weapon cuts off people's fears and evil slander directed towards the person praying. A sharp sword gets rid of demons and always defeats evil forces. He helps those who ask and pray to his image to get rid of bad feelings. From overwhelming anger, envy and temptation. The Archangel is like a shield and protection for those who follow the laws of God.

A powerful prayer was written on the ruins of the Church of the Archangel Michael of the Miracle Monastery in the Kremlin, which was blown up during the October Revolution.

Lines must be proofread every day, throughout your life. Believers who pray with these words will be given protection from:

  • Devil;
  • ill-wishers (both strangers and blood relatives);
  • witchcraft and unclean influences (evil eye, damage);
  • temptations (envy, adultery, theft);
  • robbers and thieves who have their eyes on your property;
  • tragic incidents with you and your loved ones.

A prayer directed to an angel of this rank will help get rid of the soul from torment in hell. You can pray not only for your soul, but also for the souls of people close to you. For easier reading, write down the names of everyone for whom you wanted to ask a celestial being. Where "(name)" appears in the text, all names written must be listed.

You need to pray these words every day. On Michaelmas day at 24:00 (from 20th to 21st November) you can ask for all deceased relatives and friends. List all the names in the indicated place and add “and all the kinsmen according to the flesh of the tribe of Adam.”

O Lord Great God, King Without Beginning, send, O Lord, Thy Archangel Michael to the aid of Thy servant (name), take me away from my enemies, visible and invisible! O Lord Archangel Michael, pour out myrrh of moisture on your servant (name). O Lord Michael the Archangel, destroyer of demons! Forbid all enemies who fight against me, make them like sheep and crush them like dust before the wind. O great Lord Michael the Archangel, six-winged first prince and commander of the weightless powers, Cherub and Seraphim! O God-pleasing Archangel Michael! Be my help in everything: in insults, in sorrows, in sorrows, in deserts, at crossroads, on rivers and seas a quiet refuge! Deliver, Michael Archangel, from all the charms of the devil, when you hear me, your sinful servant (name), praying to you and calling on your holy name, hasten to my help, and hear my prayer, O Great Archangel Michael! Lead all those who oppose me with the power of the honorable life-giving cross of the Lord, with the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos and the Holy Apostles, and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, St. Andrew the Fool and the Holy Prophet of God Elijah, and the Holy Great Martyr Nikita and Eustathius, the Reverend Father of all Saints and Martyr and all the holy heavenly powers. Amen.
Oh, Great Archangel Michael, help me, your sinful servant (name), deliver me from the coward, the flood, the fire, the sword and the flattering enemy, from the storm, from the invasion and from the evil one. Deliver me, your servant (name), great Archangel Michael, always, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.

How to pray to Archangel Michael

The image of Archangel Michael in the house and prayers in front of this icon are strong protection for every person and for the whole family. Archangel Michael helps people get rid of anxieties and fears, false fears, and temptations.

  • Remember that prayer is not a “witchcraft conspiracy”; you turn to God and the Heavenly Powers with a request for help and you yourself must strive to follow God’s commandments. Then Archangel Michael with the angelic Forces will protect you according to your good will.
  • Pray in front of the icon of Archangel Michael, appearing a church candle.
  • Unfortunately, many modern people, accustomed to the “help” of psychics, believe that prayer is a talisman, “a guaranteed spell with magical powers.” Do not forget that prayer for protection from troubles is your personal appeal, as the saints said, “prayerful sighing” to the Lord, the Mother of God, the saints and the Heavenly Powers.
  • It cannot be said that one saint is stronger than another, or that one prayer will help faster and be more effective than another. So, we turn to Archangel Michael so that he prays to the Almighty for us, sinners, as if people were threatening us with violence and we went to a familiar commander in the Armed Forces with a request to protect us. Or maybe we will ask the boss to intercede for us with the management and assign security to us - in the same way the Lord protects us through the prayers of the saints.

Pilgrimage to the icons of the saint

In every house of God you can turn to the highest celestial being. Images of the Heavenly Warrior will definitely be in any God's house. There are many temples and churches dedicated to the Archangel Michael in the country. You can pray to his holy image in any city.

Heavenly Angel's Strong Protection

Archangel Michael has military status and is the patron saint of all warriors. Prayers are offered to him for protection from enemies and for the life of soldiers on the campaign. When there is a threat of war, the people ask the archangel for help. When laying and building housing, people offer prayers to the supreme angel for protection from thieves, enemies and misfortunes.

In the Akathinian temple you can order a prayer service to the archangel, but you can turn to the celestial being at home. It is a mistake to believe that prayers at shrines are a guarantee of safety. In fact, prayer itself has no power. One cannot think that one angel is more powerful and hears requests better. Every prayer has great power. The person praying presents prayers to the saint, and the saint asks the Lord for him.

To help Michael from misfortunes, you need to pray:

“O Saint Michael the Archangel, have mercy on us sinners who demand your intercession, save us, servants of God (names), from all visible and invisible enemies, and moreover, strengthen us from mortal horror and from the embarrassment of the devil, and grant us the right to shamelessly present ourselves to our Creator at the hour His terrible and righteous Judgment. O all-holy, great Michael the Archangel! Do not despise us sinners who pray to you for help and your intercession in this world and in the future, but grant us there together with you to glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen".

Who can ask for help

The Supreme Angel listens to the prayers of all people. Regardless of status and race. Even if you have never believed in God and the holy army, you can turn to him with a prayer.

They ask for Mikhail's protection:

  • Wanderers or people before a long journey;
  • people who are confused in life;
  • people who are tormented by mental anguish and temptations;
  • people who need strength in difficult situations.

When you don’t have the text of a prayer at hand, you can ask Michael for help in your own words, from your heart.

Prayer for protection from evil:

“Overshadow me with your grace, Archangel Michael, help me drive out the devilish power that cannot resist the light that descended from the heavens of Your star. I pray you to quench the arrows of evil with your breath. Holy Archangel Michael and all the Heavenly Powers, pray for me, who suffers and asks. May the Lord take away from me the destructive thoughts that haunt and torment me. Lord save me from despair, doubts in faith and bodily fatigue. Terrible and Great Guardian of the Lord, Archangel Michael, cut off with your fiery sword those who want to destroy me and wish harm to me. Stand guard over my house, protect everyone living in it and my property. Amen".

Who else will he turn to for patronage?

To understand which of the Christian saints he will turn to, you need to rely on the cause of concern.

People who have suffered from the intervention of demons, damage and the evil eye turn to Cyprian and Justinius. In order to protect the girl from dishonor, her loved ones and herself on the road and at work, she needs to pray to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

A person is accompanied in all his days by a guardian angel, so at any time you can turn to him for support.

Participation in church life will help you be closer to God. Come to the sacraments, confess and do not avoid other church sacraments. Only faith in the Lord will help you avoid the tricks of the evil one and other misfortunes. Be in sight of the Lord and your guardian angel so that they can come to your aid at any time. And you recognized their voice.

And may the Lord protect you!

Prayer to Michael the Archangel has a very strong influence, but only if a person sincerely asks. If you read a prayer to the Holy Archangel Michael every day, you can receive strong protection and amulet from the evil one, evil people, the evil eye, all temptations and tragic events.

Lord, Great God, King without beginning, send Your Archangel Michael to help Your servants (names). Protect us, Archangel, from enemies, visible and invisible.

O Lord the Great Archangel Michael! Forbid all enemies who fight me, and make them like sheep, and humble their evil hearts, and crush them like dust before the wind.

O Lord the Great Archangel Michael! Six-winged first prince and commander of the Heavenly Forces - Cherubim and Seraphim, be our helper in all troubles, in sorrows, in sorrows, in the desert and on the seas a quiet refuge!

O Lord the Great Archangel Michael! Deliver us from all the charms of the devil, when you hear us, sinners, praying to you and calling on your holy name.

Hasten to our aid and overcome all who oppose us, by the power of the Honest and Life-giving Cross of the Lord, through the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos, the prayers of the holy apostles, St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, Andrew, Christ for the Fool's sake, the holy prophet Elijah, and all the holy great martyrs: Nikita and Eustathius, and all our reverend fathers, who have pleased God from all eternity, and all the holy Heavenly Powers.

O Lord the Great Archangel Michael! Help us sinners (names), deliver us from cowardice, flood, fire, sword and vain death, and from all evil, from the flattering enemy, from the storm, from the evil one forever, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.
