The Perfect Gift for Someone Struggling with Sleep Issues or Anxiety

My daughter struggled with sleep and night terrors. We tried everything! We even bought one of those macrame dreamcatchers because she wanted one and hoped it would catch her bad dreams! It did not help. She continued to suffer until one day everything changed.

I invited a dear friend who is a priest to our home for dinner. Unfortunately, when it was time for my daughter to go to bed, she began to melt down in fear of going to sleep and having another bad dream. Our priest friend immediately said,"Let me bless your room and your whole house." He went to his car, put on his prayer shawl, and brought in holy water, holy oil, holy salt, and came back and began to bless our home. As he called in the Holy Spirit to fill our home, he prayed that anything that did not resemble love would detach and leave! He walked into my daughter's room, began blessing the doorway, and sprinkled every corner of the room with holy water. He then prayed the Archangel Prayer. 

Archangel Michael Prayer

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,

by the power of God,

cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits

who wander throughout the world

seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

After he had blessed our home, he instructed us to pray the Guardian Angel Prayer every night before bedtime. 

Guardian Angel Prayer

Angel of God, my guardian dear,

to whom God's love commits me here,

ever this day be at my side,

to light and guard, to rule and guide.

Amen.

My daughter's night terrors dissipated, and peaceful rest was restored!  I am not kidding—the nightmares STOPPED, and PEACE REIGNED in our home!

I felt so strongly about sharing this with the world that My Saint My Hero created our Guardian Angel Silk Pillowcase. Embroidered with the Guardian Angel Prayer, it allows you to know that you are resting on prayer. If you or a loved one is suffering from many restless nights of sleep due to anxiety, worry, nightmares, or night terrors, I invite you to pray and If you can, invite a priest to bless your home!
