The Prayer of the Seven Forces of the Creed

The Prayer of the Seven Forces of the Creed is a powerful expression of Christian faith, calling upon the Creator for refuge and protection. Through this prayer, the believer seeks both spiritual and physical safeguarding, especially in moments of vulnerability. A central theme in this prayer is the plea for a celestial warrior, a member of God’s Holy Militia, to walk beside us and defend us from all evil.

This prayer is known for its strong spiritual shield, guarding us against any dark forces that might attempt to exploit the weaknesses we open through sin in our daily lives.

How to Pray the Seven Forces of the Creed

*“I am saved, I will remain saved. I entered in safety and I shall depart in safety—safe and sound, just as our Lord Jesus Christ entered the Jordan River with Saint John the Baptist. I step into Noah’s Ark, and with the key of Saint Peter I lock myself within.

I surrender myself to Jesus of Nazareth; with the three words of the Creed, God seals me.

God before me, peace to guide me, may the Lord be my companion. May the Holy Spirit light my path and deliver me from all evil and enemies who rise against me.

May the seven forces of the Creed shield my body.
Jesus, my eternal Trinity. Amen, Jesus.”*

When Should You Pray It?

While there is no fixed time to pray for those who walk in faith, tradition recommends morning prayer as a way to bless and protect the day ahead. Starting the day with the Seven Forces Prayer invokes divine presence and keeps negative forces at bay.

Equally important is to pray it before sleep, as the night also holds spiritual challenges. By invoking God’s protection before rest, we entrust our souls and bodies to His care.

Additionally, this prayer can be a source of comfort and strength in times of hardship. Whenever you feel spiritually under attack, or simply need a divine shield, turn to the Seven Forces of the Creed.

Living in Harmony with the Divine

To truly benefit from this prayer, we must strive to walk in God’s light, remaining free from sin and aligned with His commandments. In doing so, we open ourselves to the full protection of divine messengers and the Holy Spirit.

As we strengthen our connection with God, we too become beacons of light, helping others navigate a world full of challenges and darkness.

Final Thought

Make this prayer a daily part of your spiritual routine, ideally alongside the traditional Creed (Profession of Faith). This combination deepens our bond with the Divine and fortifies us against all adversity.
