My husband’s family (who are evangelicals, although Greg is Catholic) would say things like “I bind you spirit of ________ and command you in Jesus’ name….” I don’t feel comfortable doing that because in the prayer of St. Michael, we say “May God rebuke…” I always understood that the power to rebuke spirits was given to the apostles/bishops/priests under the auspices of the Church…not me. But your “formula” prayer of “sending … to the foot of the cross to be judged by the Lord” and also “I renounce the lie…. or thought…” that comes into my head is very helpful. Sending ________ to the foot of the cross to be judged by the Lord acknowledges God’s power to protect me. And renouncing lies or bad thoughts about myself reminds me to release it and replace it with what God thinks about me. Thank you very much… I think I will try using them.

I have used something similar Michelle. I pray, “In the name of Jesus, I bind you spirit of ________ and send you to the foot of the cross to be judged by our Lord.” I heard this formula from a homily titled “Spiritual Flyswatters.”
