I Asked My Guardian Angels for Help with Everything... and It Actually Worked
They can't help if you don't ask; it's a rule.
When I was five years old, someone told me we all have Guardian Angels watching over us. They’re invisible, always around, and they help us when we really need it, kind of like the spiritual version of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. You believe in them, but you don’t expect to ever really see them in action.
And I believed it. I figured they lived far away in the heavens, maybe stepping in when things got terrible.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Today, I’m a spiritual teacher, psychic, and channel. I work with Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels every single day. And what I’ve learned over decades of spiritual practice turned that childhood belief completely upside down, in the best way.
The Truth About Guardian Angels
For the past 28 years, I’ve studied spirituality from the source. Not from religion, dogma, or tradition, but by building a direct connection to Spirit itself. What I discovered is that Guardian Angels aren’t distant beings who only show up in dramatic moments. They’re constantly around, wanting to help with everything from the big to the (seemingly) small.
Need a parking spot? A job? Emotional clarity? Protection from toxic energy? They’ve got you. But there’s one key thing: you have to ask.
The Law of Free Will is the reason for this. This spiritual rule explains that we must invite Spirit to help us in our lives. This isn’t a punishment or test. It’s sacred respect. Our lives belong to us. So if you want help from Spirit, ask for it clearly and directly.
You Don’t Need to Believe
One of the most powerful things I’ve learned is that Guardian Angels don’t care if you meditate every day or whether you believe in them at all. Their help is unconditional. There are no strings, no bargains, no sacrifices. You don’t need to say, “If you help me, I swear I’ll quit this or start that.” That’s human thinking, not divine.
In fact, even atheists receive help, not because they “believe,” but because they ask from a place of genuine need. Spirit doesn’t want to change your mind. They just want to help. They live in a state of Grace and hold you in the same power.
Signs From Spirit Are Often Subtle
You don’t need to hear voices or see visions to connect with Spirit. (Although some people do!) If you’re frustrated because you’re not “getting messages,” try this: ask for a sign.
It could be a butterfly that swoops right in front of your face. Or a song that gets stuck in your head out of nowhere. If that happens, look up the lyrics, there might be a message in there from them to you. Maybe you overhear a perfectly timed sentence in a stranger’s conversation or find a shiny coin on the ground when you’re feeling low. These are not coincidences. They’re Spirit nudging you gently, saying, “We’re here.”
Gratitude Isn’t Just Polite, It’s a Spiritual Superpower
Thanking your Guides isn’t just a gracious gesture. Gratitude is one of the most powerful energies we can tap into. When we feel grateful, especially before anything has even shown up, it shifts our ego out of the way and opens a clear path for Spirit to step in.
The ego hates the surrender energy of gratitude. It wants control. But when you’re in a space of genuine gratitude, the ego backs down. That’s when the magic happens.
How to Ask for Protection
Perhaps the most underrated gift from our Guides is energetic protection. We are constantly absorbing other people’s stress, moods, and energy, and over time, it wears us down. The good news is that Spirit can help clear all of that and create a strong boundary around your energy field. All you have to do is ask.
Here is a simple prayer I teach my students and clients. You can say it anytime, either silently or out loud:
“I ask my Spirit Guide and only my Spirit Guide to clear my energy of anything that is not mine and to create a bubble of protection from any and all energy that is not mine. I also ask that you protect me from any and all harm, physical or energetic, from any other person, place, or event. Thank you.”
That’s it. Just don’t test it by doing something reckless. Spirit can protect you from many things, but not from your own free will. They cannot stop you from making a choice that puts you at risk. So wear the seatbelt, lock your doors, take the steps that keep you safe.
Guidance Comes in Many Forms
I have talked about getting guidance from Spirit, but I think I should explain what it means. How it shows up can be surprisingly subtle. You do not have to see them, hear them, or even feel them in a big way to get answers.
Have you ever needed clarity and suddenly had a lightbulb moment while driving or showering? Inspiration might hit while doing the dishes or watching a movie. That is Spirit slipping in while your mind is relaxed. Their guidance often feels like your own thoughts, which is why it is easy to miss unless you are paying attention.
