I Am Your Guardian Angel Stephen

Kay Castaneda, July 24, 2025July 24, 2025

I Am Your Guardian Angel Stephen

Do you believe in angels? I am now absolutely sure they are here with us on Earth!

About twenty years ago, I had a strange accident while driving on a highway. An old truck came up behind me, bumped my car and pushed me into the grounds of a car dealership. I knew I was out of control and heading fast toward a row of brand new vehicles on display. I turned toward the truck that wrecked into me and saw the face of such an evil-looking man who could not have been human. He was laughing and had his mouth open wide so I could see ugly deformed teeth. His truck took off speeding through a red light away from me.

About the same time, I felt a gentle but strong movement on my steering wheel turning my car away from the evil truck. I felt my car sort of flying or gliding slowly into a grassy part away from the cars on display. I looked over to the passenger side and saw a man sitting there. It looked like only his head was there because I didn’t see his body, only something see-through that resembled clothing. He had a human face. He was kind and strong at the same time. I started to ask who he was but couldn’t open my mouth to talk. He said “I am your guardian angel, Stephen.” All I could do was look at him. I wasn’t able to speak to speak.

He disappeared then. I found myself by a woman who was clipping shrubs. My car was sitting right in front of her. She asked me if I was okay and said she would call the paramedics. I told her I was not hurt and asked her where the man was who was in my car with me. It seemed she was puzzled when I talked about a man. She told me that there wasn’t anyone else but me. She saw my car speeding toward the row of new cars and trucks but then landed on the grass. I wasn’t hurt. I went home and prayed to God thanking Him for sending my guardian angel to help me.

Guardian Angel Prayer

I remember when I was in third grade at Saint Bernadette School in Indianapolis. My teacher, Sister Mary Padua, was teaching us about angels. She asked each of us to give a name to our guardian angel. I answered “Stephen.” I don’t remember why I chose that name, whether it was after someone I knew, or a character in a story I read. Sister Mary Padua was excited about the name I chose and thanked me for putting a lot of thought into the assignment. That’s how I remember my Guardian Angel’s name. She also said that each person on earth was assigned a Guardian Angel whatever religion they were. The person may not even be aware of their angel or believe in angels. That’s not to say that our guardian angel will save us from every danger we encounter. Guardian Angels are in the level or category of warrior or protector angels. There are nine levels in the hierarchy of angels. I plan to write more about that later.

We can’t know the reason for everything that happens to us. That is a mystery of life. Call on your Guardian Angel.

    Inspiring to read about such stories! I recently read a book on this topic and highly recommend it — The Field of Glow: My Life with Angels and Celestial Beings by William C. Schulz. From the author: “These are my stories but they have been polished and infused with the love of the angels. When I started writing, Archangel Michael came to let me know that I didn’t need to do this on my own. He gave me insight and visions, and even helped me find the words to describe my experiences. In addition, Michael shared his own inspiring messages of love, caring, and compassion.”

    Wow, that’s quite a story, Kay. I have to admit that I didn’t believe in guardian angels until this year. I believed in angels, but not necessarily guardian ones. Then in my reading of Psalms, I read that God will send his angels to guard us. I wrote it in my journal. I have had many, many instances of being protected. Of course, I figured God was doing it, but I never believed that he was sending his angels. Now I trust that he can work however he wants to. :) xxx

      There are Nine Choirs of Angels or levels and they have different tasks or “jobs”. When I took the theology classes for my Spiritual Direction certificate, I learned about this. There are Warrior angels, Guardian angels, Messenger angels and more. The Angel Gabriel delivered the message from God to Mary that she would be the mother of Jesus. Prophets in the Bible were visited by angels who delivered messages from God. Maybe this is still happening! I think I’ll read the books again. You have an open mind, Marsha and you are a person of faith. Thanks for reading my story! 🥰

"The quiet novel. Rather than climactic plots and thrilling storylines meant purely to entertain, a quiet novel speaks more to our inner life. They are contemplative works of art that derive meaning from silence rather than spectacle." Poetic Outlaws
