Psalm 91 God Our Protector

Avery strong and powerful prayer for those who need them. Try to memorize it by heart so that while we need it urgently, we have it in our mind. Personally, I find this prayer very powerful and  indeed miraculous. 


1. Whoever goes to the Lord for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty.
2. Can say to Him, "You are my defender and protector, You are my God; in You I trust."
3. He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases.
4. He will cover you with His wings; you will be safe in His care; His faithfulness will protect and
    defend you.
5. You need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day.
6. Or the plagues that strike in the dark or the evils that kill in daylight.
7. A thousand may fall dead beside you, ten thousand all around you, but you will not be harmed.
8. You will look and see how the wicked are punished.
9. You have made the Lord your defender, the Most high your protector.
10. And so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home.
11. God will put His angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go.
12. They will hold you up with their hands to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones.
13. You will trample down lions and snakes, fierce lions and poisonous snakes.
14. God says, I will save those who love me and I will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord.
15. When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them, I will
      rescue them and honor them.
16. I will reward them with long life; and I will save them.

Prayers

A Morning Prayer is a quick way to offer yourself and your whole day to God. Besides from the busy routines of ourselves, spare a few minutes when you get up to God.

  • Morning Prayer
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart, in union with the holy sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in thanksgiving for your favors, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my relatives and friends, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen. 


Most Christians say grace before meals to give thanks to the Lord. Grace is an important part of daily Catholic prayer. This is often the first way that children are exposed to a life of prayer.

  • Grace Before Meals

Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen.


A brief minute just before starting work is another important opportunity for prayer. This daily Catholic prayer is from an ancient form of the Litany of the Saints.

  • Prayer Before A Day's Work
Direct, we beg you, O Lord, our actions by your holy inspirations, and grant that we may carry them out with your gracious assistance, that every prayer and work of ours may begin always with you, and through you be happily ended. Amen.
