Prayer for Deliverance from the Tyranny of False Beliefs and Negative Thoughts
Prayer Booklet

 
Throughout the day, whenever you feel oppressed, stuck, and weighed down with fatigue in trying to accomplish your tasks, use the following deliverance prayers to overcome the false beliefs and negative thoughts working covertly to obstruct you.

 

     

Your battle is with your own false beliefs and negative thoughts,
not with circumstances or with what other people have done to you.
 
No one can make you get angry.
No one can make you depressed.
No one can make you commit suicide.
No one can make you lose your faith.
 
Although circumstances and people can obstruct you,
only you yourself can defeat your success.

     

 
 

About False Beliefs and Negative Thoughts

False beliefs and negative thoughts are created in all of us through childhood experiences of emotional distress. Although based in erroneous childhood logic, these beliefs help children to cope with overwhelming helplessness, but, if left uncorrected, the beliefs will continue on into adulthood as pernicious, hidden motives for self-sabotage and failure.

False beliefs and negative thoughts often get started through the “voice” of someone (i.e., a parent) speaking negatively to you, but then you can internalize that voice as your own, hoping that if you agree with someone who is critical of you then maybe you can make that person accept you—and that itself is a false belief.

Your mind constantly repeats false beliefs and negative thoughts; your freedom from their oppression requires constant prayer for divine assistance.

Examples of false beliefs and negative thoughts:

I am bad.
I am disgusting.
I have no right to succeed.
Without my father’s or mother’s love I am doomed.
I’ll never change.
It’s too hard.
Give it up.

Prayer for Deliverance from the Tyranny of False Beliefs and Negative Thoughts

 
IN the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

SAINT Michael the Archangel, defend me in battle; be my protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, I humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

IET God arise; let His enemies be scattered. Let those who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is blown away, so will they be blown away; like wax that melts before the fire, so all lies perish at the presence of God.

O Lord, hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto You.

LORD holy Father, almighty eternal God, I beseech You to deliver me by Your power from the tyranny of my false beliefs and negative thoughts; from their snares and lies; and from their foul grip of addictions, immodesty, irreverence, unchastity, lust, anger, and hatred. Deign, O Lord, to grant me Your mighty protection and to keep me safe through our Lord Jesus Christ, Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, through all the ages of ages. Amen.

From my false beliefs and negative thoughts and from the temptations they inflict on me,
deliver me, O Lord.
That my love for You may drive from me the desire for self-sabotage and negative thinking,
I beseech You to hear me.
That I may serve You in purity, peace, and truth, with freedom from the tyranny of lies,
grant this, O Lord.
 

Explanations of false beliefs and negative thoughts transformed into true beliefs and positive thoughts are given in the prayer booklet.

 
Prayers of renunciation are given in the prayer booklet.
