What is a Guardian Angel?
Merriam-Webster defines Guardian Angel like this:
an angel believed to have special care of a particular individual
I'm still around, someone once told me, because I have at least one diligent guardian angel who watches over me.

This is a pretty accurate description. A guardian angel is a regular, powerful angel, part of God’s Heavenly Army of Angelic Host, with a very special and deeply personal duty. They are charged by the creator to watch over a specific human individual. Sometimes these angels are in charge of entire families but there is always a specific angel assigned to each family member.
Sometimes specific angels will stay with a family for all of its generations, passing from deceased to newly conceived in a beautiful cycle of unconditional love and care.
The Work of the Guardian Angel
Your guardian angel has been with you since the moment you were conceived. It celebrated the day of your birth, and continues to celebrate every birthday of your life. Your guardian angel has prevented unnatural or evil tragedies from manifesting in your life, guiding you to when and where you need to be.
You may be thinking “but horrible things happen to me all the time!”. The angels have addressed this and many other arguments against their presence through direct revelation. It is true that bad things happen to everyone, and the angels tell us to have faith in The Plan that our Creator has for us. Sometimes tragedy is necessary. However, without your guardian angel, the forces of evil and malice would have free-reign to torment all humans, and you would be plagued by events in your life of such unconscionable evil that life would be impossible. Our guardian angels are constantly working to protect us.
It's a Partnership
The guardian angel can have profound influence on our lives. The angel however is a spiritual being. It doesn’t have a physical body and therefore doesn’t communicate with us physically. The angel isn’t using sound that our ears can hear or using light that our eyes can see. Instead the angels communicate to us through our intuition, our emotions, and in our minds if they are prepared to receive such communications. These are the senses of our spirit. When we are very young, our spiritual faculties are still intact and we can communicate openly with spiritual forces. As we mature, these faculties become corrupted, fractured, and suppressed. Therefore in order to have the best possible relationship with the angels including your personal guardian angel, you will need to re-awaken your spiritual awareness.
Guardian Angel Signs
For most people, your guardian angel has to get creative to communicate with you. In what must be a true labor of love, our angels must present us with sign after sign sometimes for years, and often with no luck. During the times in our lives when our guardian angel has a specific reason to communicate with us, perhaps to warn us, but more often to help us take advantage of an opportunity, there will usually be a cluster of specific signs that are related. For example seeing a number appear in clusters and numbers that are beyond chance. Let’s say you wake up briefly at 4:44am and the time really stands out to you. You go back to sleep and wake up to birds calling loudly outside your window. What strikes you is the precisely timed bird calls of four, four, and four. When you open the morning newspaper the first thing you see is an advertisement for pumpkin pies on sale for $4.44. Angels often communicate in repeated number sequences like 444, 222, 1111, etc.
Another thing to watch for is just a nagging feeling that someone is trying to tell you something or make you see something. It’s a knowing of sorts that can’t be denied. That’s your guardian angel telling you it’s time to listen.
Take a look at the patterns in your life. Where are you manifesting destructive cycles? Our guardian angels are usually able to work in the background. If you are seeing signs of persistent contact, It may be time to start working on the areas of your life that could use serious improvement.
