I kinda feel you should remind her that Jesus is God clothed in the flesh, so that when by faith she became saved, for when one accepts Christ, your eating his flesh and drinking his blood, he becomes your Savior, he is the vine, we are the branches.
P.S. I don't like the idea of inviting a spirit into ones heart(what about the anti-christ spirit), always asking to be let in. Once your saved you have that spiritual relationship that comes from the Father, as long as she doesn't lose the faith and abides in the vine which is Christ. I would say that its about faith, encourage her to be an overcomer, that greater is he that is in her than is in the world. I'd also recommend saying the Our Father, which says so many things, like lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil, which is a prayer to the Father. The devil is a like a lion seeking to devour. I just try to keep it simple, a simple faith, it doesn't have to be complicated. Jesus is Lord, Love the Father and love one another as Christ loved, and you fullfill what the entire basis of the laws of the prophets. Its about having a loving heart, and not wallowing in the mire, Jesus said he is meek and lowly in spirit, and his yoke is easy. I'm sure there are loving Christians that are Catholics, Baptists, that are just keeping it simple by being wiser than the serpent, by having a loving heart in Christ.
