At the start of the year, it is common to look for ways to attract good vibes for the following months. The new year represents an opportunity to renew faith, to let go of what no longer has meaning and to make room for new achievements. In this context, prayers become valuable tools to strengthen the soul and enhance optimism.
Spending time in prayer is an act of care for yourself and those around you. These words of faith have the power to light the way, ward off adversity and bring inner peace. Below, discover five special prayers to attract protection and good energy in 2026!
1. Prayer to the Holy Guardian Angel
Holy Guardian Angel, whom you granted to me, from the beginning of my life, as protector and companion, I want (say your full name), in this new year 2026, poor sinner, I dedicate myself to you today, before my Lord and Godof Mary, my heavenly Mother and of all the angels and saints. I want to give you my hand and never let go of yours again.
With my hand in yours, I promise to always be faithful and obedient to my Lord God and to the Holy Church. With my hand in yours, I promise to always confess Mary as my Queen and Mother and to make her life one of my models. With my hand in yours, I promise to confess my faith in you, my holy protector, and to zealously promote the veneration of the holy Angels, as special protection and assistance, in a special way, in these days of spiritual struggle for the Kingdom of God.
I beg you, holy Angel of the Lord, for all the strength of Love, so that it ignites, all the vigor of faith, so that it never wavers again. I beg you, may your hand defend me against the attacks of the enemy. I implore you for the grace of the humility of Our Lady, so that I may be preserved from all dangers and, guided by you, reach my heavenly homeland. Amen!
2. Prayer to the Holy Family
Jesus, Mary, Joseph, sacred among the holy families of all humanity, pray for us. The love of the child, the love of the mother, the love of the father, is the path of truth and life that leads us to the heavenly realms, teaching us the way to redeem ourselves from all our errors before your sacred example.
Jesus, Mary, Joseph, who sowed the kindness among the meanest beings who have already traveled the same paths as us, give birth to hope, faith and charity in our hearts, so that we can reach a higher level and this allows greater proximity to the Kingdom of Heaven.
O Holy Family, who have lived in times of darkness and have not given up, who have repeatedly shown how to proceed in difficult times, make us worthy of your affection and may we one day be together in the house of the Most Holy. Pray for our family for all centuries. Amen.
3. Prayer to bless the new year
Lord God, owner of time and serenity, yours is today and tomorrow, the past and the future. As I begin another year, I stop my life in front of your calendar, which I have not yet started, and I present to you these days, of which only you know if I will live them. Today, I ask you for me and for all my loved ones and friends, peace and joy, strength and prudence, lucidity and wisdom.
I want to live each day with optimism and kindness, carrying a heart full of understanding and peace everywhere. May my mind be filled only with blessings, so that I can spread them wherever I go. Fill me with kindness and joyso that everyone I meet on my path discovers a little bit of you in me. Give me a happy year and teach me to share happiness. Amen!
4. Prayer for protection
Lord Jesus Christ, I (say your full name) I put my house, my family (say the first name of each family member), all those who live with me, under the protection of Your Precious Blood. Protect this house from theft, fire, violence, slander, slander, curses, the evil eye and all evil.
Anyone who has bad intentions, evil, cannot stay in this house nor pass through this door, where I enthrone this prayer. And just as we read in the book of Exodus chapter 12, when the Lord protected the homes of the Israelites, may my house, through this prayer of protection, be marked with the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, a sign of protection against any type of scourge.
I invoke the particular intercession of the Virgin Mary and Saint Michael the Archangel confirming this prayer. Finally, may this door, my entire house, be sealed, marked and protected in the liberating Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
5. Prayer to renew energy for the new year
Life goes by quickly, Lord. Time flies. The days follow one another without interruption. Life is becoming more and more hectic. There is no time for anything else. You have to run to keep up. But today we want to stop for a moment to talk to you, Lord, because a new year is a new stage that begins.
Today, our thoughts are full of gratitude: it would be difficult to list the blessings received to date. We also want to ask for forgiveness, because we don’t always take life seriously. We often fail to fulfill our obligations. We fail enormously in our relationships with others. Forgive us, Lord.
