The Prayer of Protection is a spiritual shield. It is read before a journey, in danger, during war, in illness. It brings the feeling that God is near.
Prayer of Protection
“O Lord God, Thou art my fortress and my protection. Cover me with Thy right hand from all evil: from enemies visible and invisible, from sickness, from misfortune, from evil people and evil thoughts. Guardian Angel, be with me. Amen.”
Psalm 90 — prayer of protection
“He that dwelleth in the help of the Most High...” — this psalm is considered the strongest protective prayer. It is read in danger, in illness, before a journey. The text is found in any prayer book.
Prayer of protection for a warrior

Every morning — as a shield for the day. Before a journey. In danger. Before surgery. In times of anxiety. The Prayer of Protection is a weapon that is always with you.
