Trusting Spiritual Assistance

Remembering to say thank you to our guides is important for the completion of the help they have given.

We may have become accustomed to asking for help from the unseen world — whether from angels, guides, or ancestral spirits — but sometimes, we may forget to close our connection afterward with a thank you. When we connect to these energies for assistance, it is much like a phone connection. Forgetting to close the conversation with a proper “goodbye” is like not hanging up. When that line is still connected, others can have trouble getting through. In the meantime, batteries are being drained. Saying “thank you” is a way of releasing our concerns into trusted hands and getting out of the way so that the universe’s divine order can work on our behalf.

As spiritual beings, we may talk about staying connected, but our connection needs to be with our source. We can plug in and recharge, but we run on batteries in between. Every connection we make utilizes some of our personal power. Even being surrounded by people who energize us has its limits, and at some point, we will feel ready to go off on our own to do what is ours to do. Instead of trying to be constantly connected, we can turn to these beings for help in a way that is more like placing an order. We contact them, ask for what we need, and then say thank you and goodbye.

Beings of light don’t require our gratitude; it is an energetic acknowledgment of trust and release that benefits us. When we bring ourselves to a sense of being grateful, we affirm that what we have asked is already done. Then we can move forward with confidence to do the things we are meant to do, knowing that all will be well.
