Almost every day you communicate with colleagues, friends, relatives, neighbors. However, not always all these people treat you with kindness and warmth. Often there are conflicts and quarrels, in which, as a rule, both parties are to blame. Despite all this, some people swear so fiercely that curses and various bad messages can sound from their lips. The envy of others also has a very negative effect on a person. She is able to destroy all plans and dreams and attract problems and losses. Let's try to figure out how to protect yourself from the evil eye and curses by turning to the Higher Powers.
Among the many heavenly ranks, one can single out such as the Archangels. They belong to the highest category and are helpers, messengers and protectors of people on Earth. You can turn to them for help and advice, and one of them is the Archangel Michael. Prayer for every day to this Archangel can help in solving many issues that concern a person. Each angel, regardless of his rank, has his own specific duties.
Archangel Michael is also no exception. This is the greatest angel that is found in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. His name translates as "one who is like God." He is considered one of the main angels who can defeat evil spirits. On many icons you can see that he is depicted with a spear or a fiery sword, with which he once overthrew Satan. It is with his help that he fights with all the wickedness that clings to a person.
Who, if not the most important angel, can protect a person from the influence of evil forces? Of course, this is the Archangel Michael. Prayer for every day to the Archangel can protect from curses and the evil eye. In addition, turning to him gives peace and tranquility. If you feel that after a quarrel with a certain person you began to feel bad, retire to a room and read the prayer for protection to Archangel Michael several times.
There is a belief that certain words were written on the outer porch of the Miracle Monastery in the Kremlin (a prayer to Michael the Archangel for every day), by reading which throughout life one could really get very powerful protection from various situations. These include:
Since Archangel Michael is one of the most important and main angels, you can contact him with any requests and wishes. Some people are tormented by the fear that they will be robbed or jinxed, while others, in turn, constantly feel that they have damage or a curse. In this case, it is necessary to pray to Archangel Michael every day and ask, first of all, to get rid of fears and doubts and, of course, protect from evil spirits. If it is difficult to remember the words of the prayer right away, then you need to write it on a piece of paper and carry it with you.
Archangel Day (September 19) and Michaelmas Day (November 21) are very important. These days, the strong prayer of Michael the Archangel for every day is even more effective than usual. Also these days you can ask for the repose of all the dead that you knew. Also on these days you can pray for loved ones and relatives. To do this, you need to call their names instead of their name in turn.
In order to ask for help from an angel, you need to read his prayer. If this is difficult, then you can contact in your own words and from the bottom of your heart. It is desirable, but not necessary, that the icon of the Archangel Michael be nearby. It is not always necessary to read a prayer in front of the icon, but in the house it must necessarily stand.
Perhaps many are interested in the question of why it is necessary to memorize a pre-written text in order to seek help from such a higher angel as Archangel Michael. After all, prayer for every day can be expressed in your own words. The fact is that everything has its vibrations.
Each word and sound creates invisible vibrations of a certain force. Prayer, which has been used for centuries, is created according to this principle. Her words vibrate so strongly that a request to the Higher Forces (for example, a powerful prayer to Michael the Archangel for every day) comes much faster. If you read in your own words, then it will not be so strong and effective. In addition, its strength also depends on how a person reads a prayer. It doesn't have to be spoken out loud, but it should be from the heart nonetheless.
If, nevertheless, reading a prayer turns out to be difficult, then something like this can be addressed in your own words: “Archangel Michael, you are the strongest and greatest among the angels. I ask you to protect me from the evil eye, from floods and fires, from enemies, visible and invisible. Protect me from evil people and their thoughts in my direction. Help me make my dream come true. Amen." You can change the words in places, but we should not forget that first of all it is necessary to sing praise to such an angel as the Archangel Michael. Prayer for every day must also necessarily end with the word "Amen." Depending on the situation, the words in the center can be changed. If, for example, you need advice, you can say "Help me, servant of God (name), give me advice on how to do the right thing." If there are no problems at the moment in life, then just ask him to cover you with his magic wing and protect you from all troubles.
In order to provide protection from evil spirits and the evil eye, it is necessary to read such a prayer every day.
In brackets where the name is written, you must insert the names of those for whom you are praying. It can be only your name, or you can call the names of the whole family. In this case, the wing of the Archangel will cover all the named people with its invisible protective wing and protect them from dangers. Prayers to Archangel Michael for each day of the week can be used differently. For example, on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, read the prayer written above, and on the rest of the week, pray in your own words. There is also a short prayer that is suitable for daily use. There she is.
In order for Archangel Michael to protect from troubles and illnesses, and in cases where a person feels some kind of witchcraft or the influence of otherworldly forces, such words can be used.
Prayers to the Archangel Michael can be read by any person or even a child. He comes to the aid of anyone who turns to him. He puts a large invisible shield over a person, and then neither Satan nor other dark otherworldly forces are able to harm him.
This is a very rare prayer, which is written on the porch of the Church of the Archangel Michael the Miracle Monastery (Kremlin, 1906.)
If you read this prayer daily throughout your life, you will receive the strongest protection from the evil one, from evil people, from magical influences, from temptations, and also - deliverance from hellish torments.
Write on a piece of paper the names of all your loved ones (children, parents, husband, wife) and name them all where (name) is written.
But 2 times a year - from September 18 to 19 (the feast of the Archangel Michael) and from November 20 to 21 (Mikhail Day) you need to pray for the dead - calling everyone by name (and at the same time add the phrase "and all relatives in the flesh to the tribe of Adam. "This is done at 12 o'clock at night. Thus, the sins of your kind are forgiven.

Saint Archangel Michael is revered by the Orthodox Church as a very strong protector. Even in the Old Testament, he is mentioned as the supreme angel, who led the struggle between the forces of light and the dark, and cast the devil into hell. For this and various miracles associated with his intercession, Archangel Michael is prayed for protection from demons, witchcraft, conspiracies. Protects Michael from quite earthly enemies: evil people, thieves, rapists, malefactors. It is recommended to read a protective prayer to St. Michael the Archangel before leaving the house and in case of perceived or real danger. In addition to the usual daily ones, there is still a very rare very strong protective prayer to the Archangel Michael, which was written on the porch of the Miracle Monastery in the Kremlin.
In addition to the Archangel Michael, protective prayers can be read to many more Orthodox saints. It is important to determine what exactly you need protection from. Despite the fact that you can pray to God, the Mother of God and the saints in any need, there are still saints to whom God for their deeds granted the grace to protect and protect us. So, they pray to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for protection from girlish dishonor, misfortunes along the way. The Holy Martyrs Cyprian and Justinia are asked to be protected from sorcerers, magicians, corruption, demonic obsessions.
Do not forget to pray for protection from evil to your Guardian Angel - he is your first and closest intercessor and guardian, who is always there and ready to help at the first call. Strong protective prayers are also prayers to the Living God in the help of the Most High and May God rise again and scatter against him.
The Holy Orthodox Church does not tire of warning us against using various security conspiracies. What can be prayers to God, who alone controls our lives? Therefore, one should not perceive protective prayers as something magical and generally remember prayer only when we need something from God.
The best defense is our sincere faith in God as we place our lives in His hands. In addition, it is necessary to go to church, attend divine services, participate in church sacraments - confession, communion. Thus, we will always be under the protection of God and the Guardian Angel. And the daily prayer rule includes the 90th psalm, and many other protective prayers, so those who pray in the morning and evening do not need to read them additionally, except perhaps in some special emergency cases.
Oh, Saint Michael the Archangel, light-like and formidable voivode of the Heavenly King! Before the Last Judgment, weaken to repent of my sins, from the net that catches, save my soul and bring me to the God who created it, who settles on the cherubim, and pray for her diligently, but with your intercession she will go to the place of the deceased. O formidable governor of the heavenly forces, the representative of all at the Throne of the Lord Christ, the guardian, firm in all man and wise armourer, strong governor of the Heavenly King! Have mercy on me, a sinner who requires your intercession, save me from all visible and invisible enemies, moreover, strengthen me from the horror of death and from the embarrassment of the devil, and make me shamelessly present to our Creator at the hour of His terrible and righteous judgment. O all-holy great Michael the Archangel! Do not despise me a sinner, praying for your help and your intercession in this life and in the future, but make me worthy to glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit with you forever and ever. Amen.
Lord, Great God, King without beginning, send, Lord, Thy Archangel Michael to help Thy servants ( name). Protect us, Archangel, from all enemies, visible and invisible. Oh Lord Great Archangel Michael! Demon crusher, forbid all enemies fighting with me, and create them like sheep, and humble their evil hearts, and crush them like dust in the face of the wind.

Life situations involve constant meetings with new people and old acquaintances. Unfortunately, not everyone around us wishes well. Many people, and sometimes even relatives, envy us and say a lot of bad things about us in their hearts. Sometimes human malice crosses all boundaries and completely absorbs a person, giving rise to only one desire in him - to do harm. A person takes upon himself a great sin and turns to witches and fortune-tellers to inflict damage. In order to protect yourself and your family from trouble, you need to be as close as possible to God and turn only to Heaven.
Prayer to Archangel Michael is a powerful daily weapon against misfortunes and bad words from evil-wishers. The powerful "wing" of the Archangel will close the prayer from damage and the evil eye. The superangel among Orthodox Christians is considered one of the most powerful Celestials, the protector of the spirit and soul of all living.
The supreme (main) angel acts as the leader of the Lord's army and archangel. It was under the leadership of St. Michael that the army of God fought against the devil and demons. The majesty and strength 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 campaign through the desert from Egypt, the Archangel Michael showed the way to Moses and the Jewish people. When the walls of Jericho fell, it was this high 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 gives 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 corruption.
The image of the supreme angel on the icon is visualized with a sharp threatening sword in his hand. However, it is not directed at people. The weapon cuts off human fears and evil slanders directed towards the supplicant. A sharp sword delivers from demons and always wins over evil forces. Asking and praying at his image, he helps to get rid of bad feelings. From overwhelming malice, envy and temptations. The archangel is like a shield and protection for those who follow the laws of God.
On the ruins near the Church of the Archangel Michael the Miracle Monastery in the Kremlin, blown up during the October Revolution, a prayer of great power was written.
Lines must be read every day, throughout life. Believers who pray these words will be given protection from:
Devil;
Evil-wishers (both strangers and blood relatives);
Witchcraft and unclean influences (evil eye, damage);
Temptations (envy, adultery, theft);
Robbers and thieves who have their eye on your property;
Tragic incidents with you and your loved ones.
A prayer directed to an angel of this rank will help the soul get rid of torment in hell. You can pray not only for your soul, but also for the souls of people close to you. For a more convenient reading, write down the names of everyone for whom you wanted to ask for a celestial. Where "(name)" appears in the text, all written names must be listed.
Pray these words every day. On Michael's day at 24:00 (from November 20 to November 21) you can ask for all the deceased relatives and friends. Name all the names in the indicated place and add "and all the relatives in the flesh of Adam's tribe."
“O Lord God the Great, King Without Beginning, send, Lord, Your Archangel Michael to help your servant (name), remove me from my enemies, visible and invisible! O Lord Archangel Michael, pour out the myrrh of moisture on your servant (name). O Lord Michael the Archangel, destroyer of demons! Forbid all the enemies Fighting with me, make them like sheep and crush them like dust before the face of the wind. O Lord, the great Michael the Archangel, the six-winged first prince and governor of weightless forces, Cherubim and Seraphim! O Lord, pleasing Michael the Archangel! Help me in everything: in insults, in sorrows, in sorrows, in deserts, at crossroads, on rivers and on the seas, a quiet haven! Deliver, Michael the 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, speed up my help, and hear my prayer, O Great Archangel Michael! Lead all those who oppose me with the power of the honest 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 Holy Fool and the Holy Prophet of God Elijah, and the Holy Great Martyr Nikita and Eustace, the Reverend Father of all saints and martyr and all the holy powers of heaven. Amen.
Oh, Great Michael the Archangel, help me your sinful servant (name), deliver me from a coward, a flood, fire, a sword and a flattering enemy, from a storm, from invasion and from the evil one. Deliver me, your servant (name), the great Archangel Michael, always, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen".
In every house of God, you can turn to the highest celestial. Images of the Heavenly Warrior will definitely be in any God's house. There are many temples and churches dedicated to Archangel Michael in the country. You can turn to his holy image with a prayer in any city.
Archangel Michael has a 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 a campaign. With the threat of war, the people ask for help from the archangel. When laying and building housing, people offer prayers to the supreme angel for protection from thieves, enemies and misfortunes.
In the Akathinsky temple, you can order a prayer service to the archangel, but you can also turn to a celestial at home. It is a mistake to think that prayers in shrines act as a guarantor of security. 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 one who prays makes supplications 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, the servant of God (names), from all visible and invisible enemies, moreover, strengthen us from the horror of death and from the embarrassment of the devil and make us shamelessly present to our Creator at the hour 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 make us worthy to glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit with you forever and ever. Amen".
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.
For the protection of Michael ask:
Wanderers or people in front of 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 there is no prayer text at hand, you can ask Michael for help in your own words, from the heart.
Prayer for protection from evil:
“Autumn me with the grace of your Archangel Michael, help me expel the devilish power that cannot resist the light that descended from the heavens of Your daylight. I beg you to extinguish the arrows of evil with your breath. Holy Archangel Michael and all Heavenly Powers, pray for me, who is suffering and asking. May the Lord take away from me the destructive thoughts that haunt and torment me. Save me Lord 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 wish to destroy me and wish me evil. Stand guard over my house, protect all who live in it and my property. Amen".
To understand which of the Christian saints to turn to, one must rely on the cause of concern.
Cyprian and Justinius are addressed by people who have suffered from the intervention of demons, corruption and evil eye. In order to protect the girl from dishonor, loved ones and yourself on the road and work, you need to pray to the Pleasant Nicholas the Wonderworker.
A guardian angel accompanies a person in all his days, so at any time you can turn to him for support.
Participation in church life will help to be closer to God. Come to communion, confess, and do not avoid other church sacraments. Only faith in the Lord will help to avoid the tricks of the evil one and other misfortunes. Be in the sight of the Lord and the guardian angel so that they can come to the rescue at any time. And you recognized their voice.
And may the Lord keep you!
Orthodox Christians believe that in addition to the visible physical world, there is also a spiritual, invisible world. We find confirmation of this in Holy Scripture. This world is inhabited by angels - incorporeal spiritual beings. Translated from the ancient Greek language, the word "angel" means "messenger". They received such a name because it is through their angels that the Lord often helps us in our earthly life, makes us understand His Will.
We cannot know for sure about the structure of the subtle spiritual world, but we know that its own hierarchy operates there. So, one of the "main" angels is the Archangel Michael.
The prefix "archi" indicates a higher service at the Throne of the Lord compared to other heavenly beings.
In what cases is a prayer to the Archangel Michael read and for what?
Our church teaches that there are nine angelic orders in total. Relying on dogma, any Orthodox has no reason to deny such an angelic hierarchy. Archangel Michael is prayed as the leader of the entire angelic army. No wonder he is depicted on the icon with a sword - according to legend, it was with this sword that Dennitsa, who became Satan, was overthrown from Paradise.
Prayer to the Archangel Michael from ancient times was read by Orthodox warriors, going to battle. Of course, blasphemy will be treated with prayer before going to any dishonorable or criminal deed, lawlessness. You can resort to spiritual help only with a clear conscience and before the struggle for a just cause.
Read about Archangel Michael:
They pray to the leader of the angels in such cases:
Any malice and negativity is from the evil one, and the words of such an appeal to God will never be heard. In addition, one must always remember that a person always carries the greatest evil in his soul. Prayer to Archangel Michael for every day can become a powerful weapon in the fight against your own sins and passions. One has only to sincerely ask for help, and it will definitely come. The strongest person is the one who has managed to defeat himself. And the real victory over oneself lies in the taming of one's passions. Man himself is not able to cope with such a task, so you need to ask God's help.
An important point is the general attitude to prayer as such. Today you can meet many views when a prayer appeal is turned into a kind of ritual or magical conspiracy. Such an approach is contrary to the spirit of the Orthodox faith and, apart from spiritual harm, does nothing to a person. It is necessary to turn to God only by trusting in His mercy to us and believing that the Lord will never send anything that can harm a person.
Many Christians around the world were able to personally verify the undeniable help that the heavenly intercessor gives to all who, with faith and a pure heart, turn to him for help. But where did his veneration come from?
Tradition testifies that the temple to the chief angel was erected in Phrygia. Near this temple was a source of healing water. The temple was built by a man whose mute daughter spoke after drinking this water.
After the erection of the majestic temple, a variety of people from all over the area reached out to it, seeking recovery and spiritual help in infirmities and troubles. Even many pagans received healing from the temple source, which led to mass renunciations of idolatry and baptisms into the faith of Christ. Of course, such a spread of the new faith could not go unnoticed by ardent pagans.
A certain man Archippus, who was distinguished by special piety and God-fearing, served in the new temple. Through his prayers and efforts, many opponents of Christianity were baptized and accepted the true faith. And so the enemies of Christianity, embittered at the saint, decided to kill him, and at the same time destroy the temple they hated. To do this, they decided to connect the waters of two rivers that flowed side by side. The water was supposed to rush towards the temple in a single powerful stream, sweeping away everything in its path.
Upon learning of the impending disaster, Archippus diligently read the prayer to Archangel Michael, the very strong protection of which did not cause the saint the slightest doubt. And a real miracle happened - the leader of the heavenly host Michael himself appeared near the temple. With his sword, he made a deep gap in the nearest rock, and all the water rushed there, bypassing the temple. Having witnessed such an obvious intervention of God, the pagans were afraid and fled. Saint Archippus did not cease to give thanks to the Lord together with his devoted disciples.
The memory of this miracle is celebrated in our church to this day, having received the name of the miracle of the Archangel Michael in Khonakh.
Another revered holiday of our church, associated with the leader of the heavenly host, is the Cathedral of the Archangel Michael. The Holy Church celebrates it annually in the month of November. On the day of this holiday, all the disembodied heavenly forces that protect us daily in earthly life are honored.
Prayer to Archangel Michael from evil forces on this day is of particular importance, since absolutely all the incorporeal entities that inhabit the spiritual world take up the fight against the spirits of evil. The teachings of the Holy Church distinguish nine angelic ranks, which are all under the leadership of the supreme Archangel.
Prayers to other archangels:
On this day, it is highly desirable to attend a service in the temple in order to personally turn to the heavenly forces with your requests. In many churches, prayers with water blessing are held - you can drink blessed water from them daily while reading the rule or in difficult life circumstances.
Prayer to the Archangel Michael every day is a great protection for all believing Orthodox Christians from any evil. Do not forget that by the great mercy of God to people, we have been given the protection of an entire army of spiritual forces. You should only remember to ask for help and try to do it with sincere faith and a pure heart.
The text of the prayer to the Archangel Michael
The holy and great Archangel of God Michael, the inscrutable and all-important Trinity, the first in the Angels to the primate, the kind of human guardian and guardian, crushing from his army the head of the proud Dennitsa in heaven and confounding his malice and deceit on earth! We resort to you with faith and pray to you with love: be an indestructible shield and take firmly the Holy Church and our Orthodox Fatherland, protecting them with your lightning sword from all enemies, visible and invisible. Do not leave us, O Archangel of God, with your help and intercession, glorifying your holy name today: behold, if we are many sinners, both of us do not want to perish in our iniquities, but to turn to the Lord and be quickened from Him for good deeds . Illuminate our mind with the light of the face of God, and I will bring it out to shine on your lightning-like forehead, so that we can understand what is the will of God for us, good and perfect, and lead everything that is befitting for us to do and even despise and leave. Strengthen by the grace of the Lord our weak will and our feeble will, yes, having established ourselves in the law of the Lord, we will stop the rest of the earthly thoughts and lusts of the flesh, being carried away in the likeness of senseless children by the soon-perishing beauties of this world, as if for the sake of the perishable and earthly it is insane to forget the eternal and heavenly. Above all of these, ask us from above for the spirit of true repentance, unhypocritical sadness according to Bose and contrition for our sins, but the number of days of our temporary belly remaining for us is dependent not in pleasing our feelings and working with our passion, but in eradicating the evils committed by us, with tears of faith and contrition of the heart, feats 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 malice in the heavenly places, who used to block the soul of mankind from ascending to the mountain, yes, guarding you, we will without fail reach these glorious villages of paradise, where there is sadness, no sighing, but life is endless, and, being able to see the bright face of the All-good Lord and Master ours, falling with tears at His feet, in joy and tenderness we exclaim: glory to Thee, our dear Redeemer, even for Thy great love for us, the unworthy, deigned to send Thy Angels to serve our salvation! Amen.
Very strong protection. Prayer to Archangel Michael
