How to Ask for Help from Archangels
1. I am Ready
For archangels to come to your aid, you must be absolutely ready for what you want. “I am ready” is a powerful manifestation statement. You can use it to ask any kind of help from angels, but it’s especially useful when you’re striving to make positive transformations in your life.
After you’ve made this request for help, pay attention to the opportunities and ideas that open up and follow them; often, angels speak to us through our intuition, especially when they’re giving us information that will help us achieve our goals.
2. Resources and People Request
For us to achieve our dreams, we often need others’ help, especially when it comes to our life purpose or business. Archangels are always ready to help us in all our endeavors. So, clarify what you need and directly ask for help from them. This is an amazing way to get new opportunities, new ideas, and new clients.
3. Inspiration and Ideas Request
Are you feeling uninspired or lost? You can explicitly ask your archangels to reignite your mind and imagination so that you find clarity. This intention is especially useful when you’re unsure about your purpose and what you want in life. It’s also fantastic for creative activities like art or writing.
4. I surrender
Surrender is potent. This does not imply waving a white flag and giving up, as you might imagine when you hear that phrase. Submission is about faith – it’s saying that you trust your archangel, and your higher self will work together to create the best possible outcome – without setting expectations and limitations.
This intention is fantastic when you need assistance in communication (especially in a conflict situation), performing, presenting, or whenever you feel nervous. The archangels will help you remain to come and to recall everything you and help articulate your thoughts and feelings effectively so that interactions are pleasant, successful, and for the greatest good.
Which Archangel should you Ask for Help?
Archangels are divine beings; they don’t care whether you name them or not. If you need help, all you need to do is ask. But, humans like specificity and names. Archangels understand our nature, and that’s why they have names and specific missions; this helps create a stronger bond between us. But you don’t always have to call them by name when asking for help; just do what feels great for you.
Archangels not only watch over us but also over various facets of the universe. We can all learn to commune with these beings and tap into their power during times of need. An archangel can lead you towards higher levels of spirituality and knowledge!
