What’s a good prayer against human evil?

I know this sort of begs the whole question, but I am talking about unrepentant, persistent evil. Jesus says to forgive your brother 77 times if he comes to you* repenting*. The only prayer I can think of is the Lord’s prayer: “Deliver us from evil.”
I have learned the Anima Christi and have exhausted myself with praying it today through various difficult situations.

Best to call on your guardian angel and avoid the scum. I find that living is like making your way carefully through a field supporting a cow herd, whilst recognizing that you moo yourself.

Tenderlynew,
What a lovely handle!
I have struggled with this also. I find it too easy to ‘hate’ evil people and hearing or seeing stories of evil deeds has the power to take over my thoughts all day.
I asked my priests advice on this and he advised me to pray, pray, pray for those wicked people. As a result of this, I now pray regularly for a formerly despised Irish politician who is as viciously pro-abortion as she could be; short of performing them herself.
Over time; I have come to realise that she really, truly, in the depths of her heart, feels that she is doing a kind and noble thing in her advocacy of such awful wickedness. My prayers have worked a gentle miracle on my own angry and strident soul; with work; I know her heart will be opened to the truth, God permitting.
I suppose my advice is this; pray, pray, pray! If you are troubled; write these supplications down in a secret journal. Ask for clarity of thought for yourself and for those you pray for. You might be the one who changes but, if you are sincere, this can only be a good thing, right?
Hae a lovely day.

I guess the hardest thing I have to deal with is
the INJUSTICE of it all, why should he/she be
let off the hook? But then if we look at Jesus on
the cross, He did NOTHING to deserve what
happened to Him, Yet He was saying I let YOU
off the hook and took the fall for YOU, shouldn’t
you forgive that evil person too?
I guess what I am saying is that IN VIEW OF
THE CROSS, it seems reasonable to forgive!!!

I would recommend this thirty day prayer to Saint Joseph. It worked miracles of ending RESENTMENT in my life… It can be found here on EWTN.com
ewtn.com/Devotionals/prayers/thirtydayjoseph.htm
I feel like Saint Joseph really wants to be part of our lives now days… he will intercede for you.

Here are some spiritual warfare prayers…
Prayer against Evil
Spirit of our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Most Holy Trinity, descend upon me. Please purify me, mold me, fill me with yourself, and use me. Banish all the forces of evil from me; destroy them, vanquish them so that I can be healthy and do good deeds.
Banish from me all spells, witchcraft, black magic, demonic assignments, malefice, maledictions and the evil eye; diabolic infestations, oppressions, possessions; all that is evil and sinful; jealousy, treachery, envy; all physical, psychological, moral, spiritual and diabolical ailments; as well as all enticing spirits, deaf, dumb, blind, mute and sleeping spirits, new-age spirits, occult spirits, religious spirits, antichrist spirits, and any other spirits of death and darkness.
I command and bid all the powers who molest me—by the power of God Almighty, in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior—to leave me forever, and to be consigned into the everlasting lake of fire, that they may never again touch me or any other creature in the entire world. Amen.
Prayer against Malefice
God, our Lord, King of ages, All-powerful and Almighty, you who made everything and who transform everything simply by your will; you who changed into dew the flames of the seven-times hotter furnace and protected and saved your three holy children:
You are the doctor and physician of my soul. You are the salvation of those who turn to you. I beseech you to make powerless, banish, and drive out every diabolic power, presence and machination; every evil influence, malefice or evil eye and all evil actions aimed against me.
Where there is envy and malice, give me an abundance of goodness, endurance, victory and charity. O Lord, you who love man, I beg you to reach out your powerful hands and your most high and mighty arms and come to my aid.
Send your angel of peace over me, to protect my body and soul. May he keep at bay and vanquish every evil power, every poison or malice invoked against me by corrupt and envious people.
Then under the protection of your authority may I sing with gratitude, “The Lord is my salvation; whom should I fear?” I will not fear evil because you are with me, my God, my strength, my powerful Lord, Lord of peace, Father of all ages. Amen.
Prayer for a Spiritual Canopy
Dear Lord Jesus, please forgive me for all the times I have not submitted to your will in my life. Please forgive me for all my sinful actions, making agreements with the enemy, and for believing the devil’s lies. I now submit to you as my Lord, dear Jesus. Now I break every agreement that I have made with the enemy.
Lord Jesus, please have your warring angels remove and bind to the abyss all demons and their devices that had access to me because I believed their lies. I now ask you to establish a hedge of protection around me, over me and under me, and seal it with your blood, Lord Jesus Christ.
I now choose to put on the full armor of God and ask that you cleanse me and seal me, body, mind, soul and spirit, with your blood, Lord Jesus Christ. Please have your warring angels bind up and remove all demons, their devices, and all their power from within this protective hedge and have them sent to the abyss.
Please have your warriors destroy all demonic, occult or witchcraft assignments directed against me including all backups and replacements. Please have your warriors remove all trafficking people and send them back to their own bodies and seal them there with your blood, Lord Jesus Christ. Please have your angels stand guard over me and protect me from all the attacks of the enemy.
Amen.
Prayer for Our Enemies
Jesus, Prince of Peace,
you have asked us to love our enemies
and pray for those who persecute us.
We pray for our enemies and those who oppose us.
With the help of the Holy Spirit,
may all people learn to work together
for that justice which brings true and lasting peace.
To you be glory and honor for ever and ever.
Amen.
Any of the psalms would be a great prayer to say as well. Psalm 91 is my favorite.
Psalm 91
You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
You will not fear the terror of the night, or the arrow that flies by day, or the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the punishments of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord your refuge, the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue them and honor them. With long life I will satisfy them, and show them my salvation.
