Every time we meet a variety of people on our way: neighbors, relatives, friends, colleagues. And such meetings may not always turn out to be pleasant, because in life there are always quarrels, insults and deception. Often friends become bitter enemies, wishing one another troubles and illnesses. It happens even worse, when one person turns to a witch in order to harm another. To protect yourself from bad things, both minor and serious troubles, you need to turn to Heaven for help.
Daily prayer to Archangel Michael will help protect yourself from the evil eye, ill-wishers and all misfortunes. He is revered by the Orthodox Church, and is considered the strongest protector of the spirit and body of the believer. He is the supreme (main) angel, the leader of the army of the Lord, in other words, the Archangel. It was under his leadership that the angels fought against the devil and demons. And by the command of God, even before the birth of Christ, he helped the Jewish people fight against the pagans.
And when Moses led the Jews out of Egypt, Michael, showing the way, accompanied them. And before the storming of Jericho, he appeared to Jesus. The history of the Christian Church has preserved the memory of many miracles performed by the angel. Therefore, the icon of the Archangel Michael is a very strong protection for all believers, and prayers addressed to the image will help protect against any trouble.
Prayer to Archangel Michael - very strong protection
On the icons the supreme angel is depicted with a sharp, long sword in his hand. This is a weapon for victory over evil forces, it cuts off human anxieties and fears. It helps people get rid of deceit, evil and takes them away from temptations. He is the first protector of all who follow the laws of God.
There is one strong prayer that was written on the porch of the Church of the Archangel Michael, the Miracle Monastery in the Kremlin, which was blown up after the October coup. If you read these lines every day throughout your life, then as a result a person will receive very strong protection:
- from the evil one;
- from evil people;
- from the evil eye and other magical effects;
- from temptations;
- from sudden attacks and robberies;
- from tragic events.
Food for thought: how to find out if there is damage to a person
And also, these words addressed to the supreme angel will help the soul get rid of the torments of hell. You need to write on a piece of paper the names of your children, parents, loved ones, in general, everyone for whom you are asking. Further, when reading the petition to the angel, you should name all the written names, where (name) is.
And, twice a year, at 12 o’clock at night - from November 20 to 21, on Michaelmas Day, and from September 18 to 19, on the day of veneration of the Archangel, you must ask for all the dead, calling everyone by name . And at the same time, add the phrase “and all relatives according to the flesh of the tribe of Adam” to the petition.

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!

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".

And wherever you go, for the help of the Higher Powers of Heaven, you can turn to this servant of God everywhere.

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.
Below is a video of this prayer to the Archangel:
If suddenly the text of the prayer is not nearby, you can turn to the saint for protection in your own words, the main thing is that it is from a pure heart.
Very strong protection and help of the supreme angel
Since Archangel Michael is the head of the heavenly army, it is customary to turn to him for help in healing ailments, for protection from enemies, for protection in dangerous times of one’s Fatherland, and for the return of soldiers from campaigns. They also ask for his help in building a new house; he promotes a happy life and protects the home from disasters and thieves.

You can pray to the angel both at home and by ordering a prayer service with an akathist in the temple. Some believe that protection from enemies and disasters in the form of prayer is a kind of amulet. But this idea is not correct. A petition to the highest Heavenly powers should in no case be considered as a talisman or a spell that has its own power.
It also cannot be said that one saint is stronger than another, or that one prayer will help more than another. This is because in prayer there is a personal appeal to the saint, so that he prays to the Almighty for us sinners. And the Lord already helps and protects us through the conversion of the saints.
These are the words they turn to Mikhail to help him protect himself from enemies and diseases:
“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
Every believer can turn to the supreme angel, regardless of age, nationality, race or gender. Even the most convinced atheist can ask for help, support, and the saint will help. He does not refuse anyone, but patronizes everyone who comes to him with a pure heart.
- A prayer for protection on the way to Archangel Michael will help every wanderer. And if you have a long trip ahead, be sure to contact him for help.
- Those who cannot decide on a goal in life or have lost their way also turn to him. The patron will help in any difficult situation.
- Anyone who is worried about fears or mental anguish can ask Michael for help.
- It will also help those who need patience and endurance and will add strength to achieve their goals.
And even if you don’t remember the prayer words, and you need the help of Higher powers, turn from the bottom of your heart, simply in your own words, to the supreme angel for protection.
To protect yourself from all kinds of evil, as well as from the evil eye and damage, you need to turn to a saint for help. And as soon as you feel any negative impact of the forces of witchcraft, immediately read the following words to the archangel:
“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 is the Holy Archangel Michael
The Almighty God is surrounded by angels - and all believers know this.
These incorporeal creatures appeared long before the creation of the human world; they combine such qualities as will, power, intelligence and personality. The angelic world was created by God. On earth, angels always appear as messengers of God. Archangel Michael was placed chief over all the heavenly angels by God himself. His name translated from Hebrew means “who is like God.” This Angel is distinguished by enormous spiritual power. He is a faithful fighter for the glory of God and the salvation of the entire human race.
Heavenly angels are not only messengers of God, they are her intercessors before the Lord for all the needs of people and for the forgiveness of their sins. But the most important messages related to changes in the world are conveyed to people directly by Archangel Michael. In addition, Angels always resist the forces of evil directed against the bright world of God, and at the head of such an angelic army is always the Holy Archangel Michael.
This Archangel first became famous for having won the first victory in heaven over the fallen angel Lucifer and expelled him to earth. And today it is believed that the battles between Archangel Michael and Lucifer continue. Only battles now take place periodically on the ground. Moreover, every living person can become a participant in such a battle.
In the annals of ancient times there is often information about the miraculous help of Archangel Michael to people in battles. For example, in 1239 he assisted the Novgorod residents in the confrontation against the invasion of Batu Khan. Witnesses claim that Archangel Michael stood in front of the khan’s army and forbade the storming of the Novgorod fortress. As a result, the war was stopped.
But long before this, a true miracle was performed. At the beginning of the Christian era, a believing peasant had a dream that his mute daughter could be healed if she drank from a healing spring of water. The dream turned out to be prophetic and the girl really spoke. The peasant’s faith only strengthened, and he built a temple in the valley in honor of the Archangel Michael. But the pagans decided to destroy the religious building and flooded the valley. The peasant could not resist this, and he could only pray. His prayer was heard, Archangel Michael descended from heaven and saved the temple. This happened on September 19th. Since then, the miracle of Archangel Michael has been celebrated on this day. It is popularly known as “Michael Michael’s miracle.”
Which saints can you still pray for protection?
In addition to Archangel Michael, you can ask for protection from many other Christian saints. The main thing is to decide what exactly you need to be protected from. Despite the fact that you can turn to the Almighty, the Virgin Mary and the saints for any everyday needs, there are still saints to whom the Lord, for their deeds and exploits, gave the grace to protect and protect us all.
Thus, prayers for protection at work, from the dishonor of a girl and from misfortunes on the road are said to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker. From corruption, the evil eye, magicians, sorcerers and demonic obsessions, it is customary to turn to the holy martyrs Cyprian and Justinius.

We must not forget about turning to your Guardian Angel, because he is your closest and first protector and patron, ready to come to your aid at the first call.
In addition, in order for you to always have very strong protection from troubles, you need to be closer to the Lord and live a church life. After all, the best amulet against misfortunes and enemies is sincere faith in God and His power. You should attend church, participate in church sacraments - communion, confession. So, we will always be under the supervision of the Lord and Guardian Angel.
God bless you!
