The “Daily Prayer for Divine Protection” is a powerful prayer encouraged to be prayed at the start of each day for complete spiritual protection and divine care. Composed by St. Edmund, this intimate prayer allows us to place our souls, loved ones, friends, and even enemies into God’s hands and the care of His holy angels, while seeking protection from evil, sin, temptation, and sudden death. More than just a prayer for safety, this beautiful invocation asks for the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, grace to remain obedient to God’s commandments, and the blessing of never being separated from our Triune God.
Daily Prayer for Divine Protection
Against Evil, Temptations & Sudden Death
O Lord, into your hands and into the hands of your holy angels, this day I entrust my soul, my relatives, my benefactors, my friends and enemies, and all who confess your holy name.
O Lord, by the merits and prayers of your son, Jesus Christ, keep me today from all evil and unruly desires, from all sins and temptations of the devil, from a sudden and unprovided death, and from the pains of hell. Enlighten my heart with the grace of your Holy Spirit. Grant that I may ever be obedient to your commandments. Let me never be separated from you, O God, who lives and reigns forever, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
