Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense 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 Divine power of God, cast into hell Satan and all other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
St. Michael, place your Shield of Truth over the heart of this nation. By the power of God, design circumstances which will reveal the evil in every heart. Make our nation secure once again through sound leadership and justified enforcement of law. Amen.
Lord, may truth and righteousness be victorious.
Thank you for this reply. And I accept that the saints have a part to play here, but nowhere in the verses you provided, does it say the saints bring our prayers to God.
Revelation 6:9-11, John describes a vision where he sees the martyrs crying out to God, praying for those on earth.
Revelation 5:8 and 8:4, the incense represents the prayers of us on earth, being brought up to God by an angel.
The visions which John sees in this part of Revelation shows how the Saints and Angels offering our prayers and their own prayers to God is part of the Heavenly liturgical worship.
Revelation 8:4 is interesting. I will pray and research. Thank you for taking the time to try to help me understand this.
