Heavy Burdens? The Power of Praying for Angels

Summary

Do you feel bowed down, exhausted, and like you are just crawling through life? You are not meant to carry these heavy burdens alone. In this powerful episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson teaches a life-changing spiritual principle: calling for reinforcements. She shares a deeply personal story of a dark, sleepless night with her special needs son, where a whispered prompting to start praying for angels brought immediate peace and miraculous calm.

Tamara explains how to stop trying to be "Superwoman" and start delegating to heaven. You'll learn the specific way to ask for help—whether you need a "technology angel" for a frustrating website, an "organizing angel" for your home, or, as guest Wendi Christensen shares, a "baseball angel" to encourage your discouraged children.

We also dive into beautiful scriptures from Psalms and Hebrews that confirm angels are ministering spirits sent to keep us in all our ways. If you are ready to lighten your load and feel the tangible support of heaven, tune in to discover the gift of praying for angels and how it can revolutionize your daily walk with God.

Episode Takeaways

1. The "Superwoman" Myth: We often try to carry every burden ourselves. The spiritual hack is to "delegate to heaven" by asking for specific help rather than trying to power through alone.
2. Specific Prayers Get Specific Answers: Tamara shares how praying generally for help didn't work as well as the specific instruction to "pray for angels," invoking her ancestors by name. Similarly, Wendi prayed specifically for her "Uncle Earl," a baseball player, to help her struggling sons—and they immediately got hits!
3. Angels for Every Need: You can pray for specific types of angels based on your current struggle: "technology angels" for computer issues, "organizing angels" for a messy house, "patience angels" for parenting, or "courage angels" when you need to be brave.
4. Scriptural Promise: Hebrews 1:14 and Psalm 91:11 confirm that angels are "ministering spirits" given charge over us to keep us in our ways. Calling on them is a neglected gift we are encouraged to use (1 Timothy 4:14).

Reflection Questions
