The Prayer to St. Barachiel the Archangel
Barachiel, angel of blessings, I thank God for making you a generous channel through which God pours many blessings into people's lives. Please intercede in prayer before God for me, asking God to bless me in all areas of my life—from my relationships with family and friends to my work. Grant me success in all of my pursuits that line up with God's will for me.

Teach me to understand blessings from an accurate perspective. If I focus mainly on the blessings I want God to give me, my perspective on God can become distorted, reducing my view of him to just a cosmic vending machine who dispenses blessings when I order them through my prayers. Show me how to approach God relationally instead of transactionally. Help me focus on God himself—the Giver—rather than the gifts that God can give me. Remind me that the ultimate blessing is a relationship with God. Urge me to make my relationship with God, my loving Father in heaven, my top priority, and to base my daily decisions on what will help me grow closer to God.
