Lovely Prayers

As I was cleaning up my receipts for liquidation in the closet, I managed to recover a piece of paper with 2 lovely prayers - Prayer to Take Authority and Cleansing Prayer. The sheet was previously handed to me when I attended a "caring circle" for the first time 2 years ago. Unfortunately, the author of these prayers were not listed in the sheet for recognition but given the beauty of these prayers, I would like to share these prayers to the blogging community:

Prayer to Take Authority:
In the name of Jesus, I take authority and I bind all powers and forces in the air, in the ground, in the water, in the underground, in the netherworld, in nature and in fire. You are Lord over the entire universe and I give You the Glory for Your creation. In Your Name, I bind all demonic forces that have come against us and our families and I seal all of us in the protection of Your Precious Blood that was shed for us on the Cross. Mary our Mother, we seek your protection and intercession with the Sacred Heart of Jesus for us and our families and surround us with your mantle of love to discourage the enemy. St Michael and our Guardian Angels, come defend us and our families against all evil ones that roam the earth. In the Name of Jesus, I bind and command all the powers and forces of evil to depart right now and away from us, our homes and our lands. ANd we thank You Lord Jesus for You are a faithful and compassionate God. Amen

Cleansing Prayer:
Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, by the power of the Precious Blood of Your Son, come upon us right now. Purify us and wash us clean with the blood of Jesus from the crown of our head to the soles of our feet. Let this Blood penetrate up to the very marrow of our bones to cleanse us from any entanglement, from whatever spirit we may have come in contact with during the course of our intercession. Anoint us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and refresh our body, soul, and spirit. May the sign of Your Holy Cross drive away all evil spirits from us. In the name of the Father+ and of the Son+ and of the Holy Spirit+. Amen.
