2) Prayer to Remove an Evil Person from Your Life
“Powerful and everlasting God,
I come against this evil person who has been stealing my joy and peace of mind. I recognize (person’s name) does not have my best interest in mind and may be using evil forces to cause me suffering.
I ask that You would break and dispel all curses, evil wishes, traps, hexes, snares and spells that (person’s name) may have set to cause my downfall. I dissolve all links to this person, who is an agent of the devil in Jesus’ name.

It can be scary knowing that not everyone we associate with has our best interests at heart.
As humans, we tend to assume the best about people forgetting that others might be wolves in sheep’s clothing.
The truth is some people are used by the devil to cause destruction and harm to others. So you should always be on high alert.
The best way is to pray every day, asking God to protect you from evil people.
This powerful prayer will help expel any evil person from your life and protect you from their unholy traps.
3) Prayer for Toxic Relationship
“God of wisdom,
I need Your help now more than ever to end this toxic relationship. I am drained on every level and cannot take my partner’s abuse anymore.
I am saddened that my relationship didn’t grow according to Your plan. I have tried everything I could to make it bloom but reached my end.
Give me the strength to walk out of this toxic relationship. And help me to stay close to Your heart in this period of pain and trials.
I trust in Your healing power, Amen.”
Original StAgnes.net prayer. Copying prohibited, except with source.
God desires that relationship partners love each other as He loves us unconditionally.
However, sadly, the world has corrupted love with lust, fantasies, the pursuit of fame, wealth and selfishness and it has become increasingly difficult to discern true love.
The Lord’s Word reminds us from 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 that love is patient and kind. It does not boast or envy, and it is not arrogant.
Love does not insist on its own way or rejoice at wrongdoing. It is also not irritable or resentful.
A toxic partner, therefore, does not love you and should be distanced from your life. Let this prayer guide you in your journey to end your toxic relationship and invite God’s peace to reign in your life in that tough season.
4)Prayer for Toxic Family Members
“Dear Father,
Your Word commands us to bear with one another in love and forgive each other when we disagree. I have tried my hardest to bear with and forgive (family member’s name), but it is difficult.
He/she keeps hurting me over and over to the point that it has become so hard to deal with him/her.
Please I ask that You would convict (family member’s name) of his/her toxic behaviors. Give me the courage to stand against his/her demeaning actions and words and walk away if necessary.
I pray that our family will stand in love, peace and unity one day because it is Your divine wish for every family, oh Lord.
In Christ, I pray, Amen.”
Original StAgnes.net prayer. Copying prohibited, except with source.
It pleases God when a family lives together in unity, as highlighted in Psalm 133:1:
“A Song of Ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!“
As a child of God, you should always strive to be on good terms with your family members. But sometimes it can be challenging relating with toxic members.
When faced with such situations, turn to God in prayer for guidance and wisdom.
Remember that as much as you love and value this person, your peace of mind and happiness should come first.
So don’t let a family member degrade you whilst you do nothing about it because they are a loved one.
Through prayer, God can change their wayward hearts, causing them to ask forgiveness for hurting you.
I believe you should also pray these prayers agains demoniac attacks.
5) Short Prayer to Remove Toxic Person from My Life
“Dear Heavenly Father,
I am hurting due to the toxicity of (person’s name) in my life. I humbly ask for Your strength and boldness to step away from this toxic person and not look back. Please break every bond this toxic person may have on me and set me free in Jesus’ name.
Thank You for hearing my plea for deliverance, Amen.”

Associating with toxic people makes one feel stressed, anxious and negative. If you find yourself in this situation, the best thing to do is to pray for that toxic individual.
God can open their eyes, making them see how their negative behavior is affecting them and others.
Ezekiel 36:26 says: “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”
Pray that God helps that toxic person to get to the root of their behavior because there must be a reason for their actions. Invite God to help that person expose their past hurt, traumas or reason for their present toxicity.
6) Catholic Prayer to Remove Evil Persons from My Life
“Father, Son and the Holy Spirit,
I call upon Your Most Holy Trinity, the Immaculate Virgin Mary, angels and the saints of Heaven to help banish all evil persons from my life.
Exterminate their evil spells, curses, witchcraft, black magic and ties that hinder me from a healthy life. Burn all their evil works in hell, that they may never affect me again.
Virgin Mary, intercede for me so that these evil people will leave me forever and their devilish schemes be bound in hell by archangel Michael, Saint Gabriel and Saint Raphael.
In the name of the Holy Lord, my savior, Amen.”

God gave us the Holy Spirit, who walks with us and warns of the evil around us.
The Holy Spirit activates a sound alarm when we encounter people who are out to harm us.
When you find yourself being wary of someone, it is best to pray about it.
Invite God, the Holy Trinity, the saints, angels and the Virgin Mary to guard you against any evil sent by the devil to harm you.
Though we live among evil people, God blessed us with a powerful weapon to fight them spiritually, prayer. The Lord also promises in Malachi 4:1 that a day is coming when He will destroy the arrogant and evildoers by setting them ablaze like chaff.
