A prospective date of mine, a good, devout Christian young lady, is being led into very bad habits by some neighbors she met. She values their friendship, so it makes approaching the situation that much more tangled from a human perspective. Thus, I\u2019d like to call in the God squad to preserve her from further influence by these neighbors and to undo any harm that has already been done. I\u2019m thinking a St. Michael level assault, because you can never underestimate the power of peer pressure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host \u2013
by the Divine Power of God \u2013
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. <\/p>\nAmen. <\/p>\n
Father, hear our prayer and bring this woman to you and a saving knowledge of your love and obedience to your Spirit through Jesus Christ. Mother Mary, intercede for her. Amen.<\/p>\n
