Prayer for a Spiritual Canopy
Dear Lord Jesus, please forgive me for all the times I have not submitted to your will in my life. Please forgive me for all my sinful actions, making agreements with the enemy, and for believing the devil’s lies. I now submit to you as my Lord, dear Jesus. Now I break every agreement that I have made with the enemy. Lord Jesus, please send an assignment of angels to remove and bind to the abyss all demons and their devices that had access to me because I believed their lies. I now ask you to establish a hedge of protection around me, over me and under me, and seal it with your blood, Lord Jesus Christ. I now choose to put on the full armor of God and ask that you cleanse me and seal me, body, mind, soul and spirit, with your blood, Lord Jesus Christ. Please have your angelic army bind up and remove all demons, their devices, and all their power from within this protective hedge and have them sent to the abyss. Please have your angels destroy all demonic, occult or witchcraft assignments directed against me. Please have your angels stand guard over me and protect me from all attacks of the enemy. I thank you for establishing an impenetrable shield of protection around me, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Fizz, this is a prayer that is for the laity to safely use. I want to emphasise very strongly that there are many prayers of Deliverance that are only for Catholic clergy to use. They use them with extreme discretion. Why ? The evil one and his minions are infinitely smarter and craftier, they are also highly legalistic- and will try to trap you.
This is no time for egos or to play the hero.
The prayer asks Jesus to put himself and his Angel's between you & your family and the negative entity.
Second thing is praying with confidence. I have come to learn that this is meant to be trust in Jesus. And speaking for myself, there are many times I have prayed with all of the confidence of Barney Fife.
But Jesus can do anything even in the face of all of my doubts.
The third thing is this prayer and many like it, do not treat God like a vending machine. I.e., put in your dollar and out comes a candy bar. Or say the magic words and get what you want. These are not magic words and we are not invoking magical outcomes.
I want to leave you with the tail end of part of a prayer in the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. This may tie it all together and give you an idea of a healthy perspective to approach this task. Jesus taught St. Faustina these words:
".. and it is with great confidence that we submit ourselves to Your Devine Will, that is Love and Mercy itself."
Repeat " Jesus, I trust in you."

Fizz, best of luck to you and yours.
This would be an excellent time to take a break from the energy reading machine, and foster the cardinal virtues.
