    If you’re facing challenges or struggles in your life, call on Michael to help you. Requesting his help makes your needs known to him and allows him to step into your life. [3]
    • For example, you might ask for Michael’s help if you’ve been struggling with loneliness, if you’re dealing with illness, or if you’re in need of protection. [4]
    • You don’t necessarily have to be a Christian to work with Michael. Non-Christians can also find a lot to gain from the support of Michael.

    Sit in a comfortable chair or, if you'd prefer, lie down, making sure your head is supported. A silent location away from loud sources of noise can make it easier for you to connect to your spiritual side. [5]

    Imagine him with some of his traditional symbols, with a flaming sword and with blue light encircling him. Form an image in your mind of Archangel Michael putting his strong blue light around you for protection. This blue light is characteristic of Archangel Michael’s presence. [9]
    • Many artists have imagined Michael with a sword as a symbol of his status as a warrior. In the Book of Revelation, Michael is described as using a sword to defeat a dragon. [10]

    [11] State your request in a way that’s very direct, by saying something like, “Archangel Michael, please make my trip tomorrow a safe one.” You may hear his voice responding to you, but if you don’t, that’s okay too—have faith that your request was heard. Other requests you might make to Archangel Michael might include: [12]
    • “Archangel Michael, please give me the emotional strength to make it through this tough conversation.”
    • “Archangel Michael, let your light keep my family safe during the storm.”
    • “Archangel Michael, please help me deal with my feelings of loneliness.”

    In your mind, picture Archangel Michael with his sword, cutting away or dissolving any negativity from your life. This kind of image will give you the strength to believe in his protection. [13]
    • You may also imagine Archangel Michael with a great white net, which he uses to capture all the negative influences in your life.

    Once you’ve visualized him helping you overcome the challenges that you face, enjoy the feeling of inner peace that this activity can offer you. Show your gratitude to Archangel Michael with a simple, heartfelt “thank you.” You could also say something like, "I am safe and protected, now and always." [14]

  • Question
    I just had a police oral interview and I really need this job. The interview really went wrong for me, because I did not manage to answer some of the questions. How can Archangel Michael help me?
    Community Answer
    God will help you. God is even more capable than the Archangel Michael. He is capable of anything. Also, maybe this interview isn't part of God's plan for you. Sometimes you will want one thing, but God knows that it isn't right for you. He has something better. Keep praying to God! He has a plan.

  • Question
    How will an archangel show his presence?
    Community Answer
    The presence of angels is not always obvious, as they may appear as normal people in everyday situations. Sometimes they may appear in a dream that feels very real. They always appear for a reason, either to deliver a message to to assist or advise in a situation. Sometimes the message is not easily understood at first.
