When I lay emotionally broken at the bottom of my pit of hell, a friend gave me a prayer to the Archangel Michael to battle depression. At first the words didn’t mean much. When I remembered to pray, however, it was the prayer I used to give me courage.

I’m sharing the Archangel Michael prayer with you. Say it slowly, thoughtfully. It may take time before the words mean something to you. If you persist, though, the prayer can be a powerful tool in fighting negative thoughts and battling depression.

The Archangel Michael Prayer

All that I can be

Allow me to be

All that I can do for You

Set in motion in me

All that I am is You

Manifest through me

Allow me to be Your Gift

As I accept Your Gift into my Life
