1. Spanish Prayer
In October of 1996, a married couple made their regular trip pulling mobile homes. On this day, the wife became tired and went to sleep. She heard her husband yelling something and she got on her knees. The next thing she remembered was being hit by a drunk driver and she went through the windshield. Their vehicle caught on fire and she suffered multiple injuries. As she laid on the pavement she remembered two Spanish ladies over her. They prayed for her and comforted her as she bled. She didn't have contact with them after the accident but she holds them in her heart as her Earth Angels.
2. A Dollar
A lady was sitting in the rose garden behind her church after mass when an old man approached her and asked her for some change. He said he was very hungry. She dug in her purse and gave him all the change she had, and he said "God bless you," and turned to leave. As she turned her eyes back to her purse she realized she had a couple of dollars and yelled after him but he was gone. She could see clearly down both sides of the street, but the old man had vanished. She believed it was an angel testing her. This is not an uncommon angel story.
***
Following this incredible encounter, the gentlewoman couldn't shake the feeling that there was a deeper meaning to the incident. She spent the rest of her afternoon contemplating the brief interaction, pondering if it was a sign sent from above. Overwhelmed by a sense of peace, she decided to donate the extra dollars to the church, feeling it was the right thing to do after the day’s mysterious happening. Such serene moments of generosity are often the ones where celestial beings are said to walk among us, nudging us toward acts of kindness and compassion.

3. Taxi
In 1986 in Mexico City at 3 a.m., a woman and her group of girlfriends were in the middle of nowhere with no transportation and no money. They bowed their heads to pray. What happened next was amazing! The moment they lifted their eyes a taxi was waiting for them. The driver told them to get inside. She explained they didn't have any money. The man said, "I know, God sent me, Evelyn." They got in the taxi and were so amazed they forgot to tell him where they needed to go. He took them there anyway.
***
As astonishing as it might seem, the driver, without a single word about directions, navigated the streets as if guided by an unseen hand, delivering them safely to their doorstep. Their gratitude was profound, and as they turned to thank him, they realized that the taxi – and the driver – had vanished into the early morning haze. This mysterious encounter left them convinced that sometimes, angels come with wheels and headlamps, and their story became one to be shared for years to come, a testament to the extraordinary.
4. Dharma & Greg
A woman's husband passed away from an enlarged heart. She believed he had an enlarged heart because he loved people in a deep and sincere way and she considered him her angel. About a week after his death she sat on the couch with her 12 year old son, reading a book called "Within Heaven's Gates." While they were reading the book, the TV came on. She had her son turn off the TV. The next day, they read the same book and the TV turned on again. This time she had to turn it off manually 3 times but it still came back on. So she decided they should watch the show. The TV program was "Dharma and Greg," and Greg was her husband's name. She later found the TV control on a shelf tucked away.
5. White Puppy
A woman shared this story about her grandmother when she was a little girl. When her grandmother was a child she was very ill and poor. Because she was poor, her mother had to leave her home alone to go work and support her young family. As the little girl lay in bed, blankets over her head, she felt a hand over her face. She was scared and moved the covers over her face but no one was there. Instead, she saw a little white puppy by her door. She got up and followed the puppy to the kitchen where it disappeared. She looked around and saw the gas to the oven was left on. This unexpected angel saved her life as a child.
***
The woman's grandmother always believed that the white puppy was a guardian angel in disguise. After turning off the gas, a sense of calm enveloped her despite her loneliness and illness. Though she never saw the puppy again, the memory of that day stayed with her, instilling a belief in celestial protectors that she carried into her old age. This story reminds us that angels might just appear with paws instead of wings, offering comfort and salvation in our most vulnerable moments.
6. Angel Power
This is another common angel story that has to do with gas. A married couple was traveling through New Mexico in a moving van when they realized their gas was running low. They hadn't seen any gas stations for miles so the wife began to pray. As the gas tank reached E, a large angel appeared. He was on top of their vehicle and leaned forward as if encouraging the vehicle to push forward. 50 miles later they arrived in Santa Fe, and pulled up to a gas station. The angel left.
***
Amazed and overwhelmed with gratitude, the couple could hardly believe their luck—or rather, their divine intervention. Whispers of their experience spread throughout the town, becoming a testimony to the power of prayer and the presence of guardians in moments of need. People began to share their own stories, feeling a sense of connection through these extraordinary encounters. The couple knew that their journey could have ended very differently had it not been for their angelic guide—truly, an awe-inspiring tale of faith that transcends the ordinary.
7. Seeing is Believing
This story recently appeared on Ohio local news. A little girl named Erin Potter who is battling leukemia had an image taken of her with what appears to be a guardian angel behind her. Her mother Jen said, "I didn't necessarily see it as a sign that Erin is fine and is going to walk out of this, but it's a sign that we're watching over her." After the photo was taken Erin had her transplant and is currently cancer free. What a beautiful story!

Paula: Many years ago when I was a young 23 years old, I bought a brand new Honda Civic Hatchback. A few short months later I began to hear a very loud, male voice each night when I fell asleep. It didn’t seem to be a dream, but instead just the voice asking me the same question every evening without fail. The question was, “You know that you don’t have any brake lights don’t you?” For some reason, I always answered, “Yes!” The question would only be asked of me once each night. After about the fourth night in a row of the same loud voice asking me the same question, I was sitting at work one day thinking about it. I thought it odd, but being a 23-year-old female who knew absolutely zero about cars, I let it go. My thought at that age was that if my car was brand new, there couldn’t/shouldn’t be anything wrong with it…LOL A few more nights went by where the same voice with the same question occupied my sleeping hours. After about a week, I was driving home from an evening out with my roommate, and I told her about the voice and the question. As we neared our apartment, I asked her if she would do me a favor when we arrived in the parking area by standing at the back of my car to see if I had working brake lights? I had absolutely no brake lights whatsoever. From that point on, the warning voice was gone. In my heart I believe that it was the voice of God trying very hard to get my attention. Once I realized that I truly didn’t have any brake lights, He was satisfied.
shabnam: Yes please more
Samantha: My father is a recovering from alcohol and substance abuse and has been sober for 15 years now. When I was nine my Mother was forced to call the police due to his extreme and violent behavior. We were taken by the police to a motel for the night for our safety. In the middle of the night my mother woke from her sleep and saw someone sitting in the little chair in the room. She said the person was wearing a beautiful gown and a wave of peace washed over her as the figure disappeared. To this day we both believe that was a guardian angel looking over us. I will never forget this.

Lezlie: So happy you enjoyed this article ladies! I love your stories! @samantha that's incredible about the angel your mom saw! @kathy I love your gas can story, amazing :)
Katie: When my little brother was two, he drove his tricycle into my grandma's pool while nobody else was around. My little sister happened to walk by and saw him and ran to tell the people inside, and when we got outside, this tiny toddler who couldn't swim let alone float was lying on his back on the water, perfectly calm. The second my grandpa jumped in the pool to get him he started crying and sinking- we think it was an angel that held him up while help came
Stacie: So uplifting :) I mustn't forget my guardian angels.
