Prayer text
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. May God guard my mind, my home, and my paths. Deliver me from evil and teach me to remain firm in the good. Amen.
When to pray this prayer
Pray before facing something frightening, when leaving home, during a spiritual struggle, or when you need renewed courage.
How to pray calmly
Find a possible place of silence, make the Sign of the Cross, read the prayer slowly, and pause on the phrases that speak most to your heart. There is no need to rush: a brief prayer made with attention is worth more than many words spoken without presence.
Small practical step
Name the fear and choose one prudent action you can take today.
