Protection from Dark Thoughts

By the power of the Christ
All curses whether ancient, hidden or repeated
Are found, bound and defeated
And must leave me now

To be: Revealed by the Light
To be: Absolved by the Truth
To be: Returned to the Source

From this time forward!
Right now! 
Forever!

So be it!
It is so!
Let it be done!

Thank You
