I've learned with angels is that you must explicitly request for their help. They are always around, but, well, because I can't seem to explain myself clearly right now, they won't take initiative in assisting you unless you specifically ask for theirs. Kinda like me sometimes IRL. Got me thinking also they have a bit of pride, too, then. Maybe stemming from the battle of Lucifer with his envy and jealousy of humans? But I digress.
I've been asking for protection and strength from Archangel Michael now. I prayed for his help when I was in a turbulent situation, and I asked for his help and I know he helped me calm down, with his cloak, and sword, and rose.
I am still asking for his intervention, and I have faith Archangel Michael will do his best in resolving the dilemmas I currently have. It's one of the few remaining Hopes I cling to now.
Yesterday I also asked for a sign that I can easily see and understand that he is working, and what do you know, I see one. It must be because how else can I explain it. Yes, I've been rationalizing it, too, because the chances were good that I would see one like that in the area, BUT how I was to know that THAT would be the sign I would see? It didn't even register in my mind immediately, then I heard his/his voice, and I had to go back and check myself.
It's not even dramatic like I heard trumpets and a full orchestra and gave me goose bumps. As I've mentioned, it could be considered mundane and ordinary, but again, how was I to know that would be what I saw?
A simple, ordinary lion which I could also attribute a lot of other meanings, too. But I did ask for a sign, and that was it.
I just hope now I can still work out through my overthinking and overanalyzing and struggle more with my patience.
