Revising a Prayer for Protection

 




Powerful morning prayer 

This prayer is an old Irish prayer known as St. Patrick’s Breastplate, and is a call for protection.

“Christ be with me, Christ within me,

Christ behind me, Christ before me,

Christ beside me, Christ to win me,

Christ to comfort and restore me.

Christ beneath me, Christ above me,

Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,

Christ in hearts of all that love me,

   Christ in hearts of those I love (revision),

Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.”

Humbly in the name of Jesus, we pray.

Amen.

Journey to Sobrierty: The Pull

 I have not shared much on my story regarding sobriety and recovery. Posting some thoughts a few days ago, which in hind site was extremely perhaps bias am revising simply to say the foundation of my recovery is mixed due to personal experiences; I am now following the spiritual and community volunteers I have connections with continuing to lean on my partner an family. This may sound like a prayer but it is not. My mantra may change but it always starts with - Peace & love.

Stay blessed!


For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Esp 6:12
