Lauren Daigle reflects on the emotional and spiritual weight she carried while performing each night and how she didn’t want to simply go through life maintaining momentum. She expresses a deep desire to rediscover the joy of her faith and to actively combat loneliness in the world. The release of Look Up Child in 2018 changed the trajectory of her career, leading to a whirlwind of international tours. However, when the pandemic hit in 2020, her fast-paced life came to a sudden halt. This abrupt stillness forced her to confront the chaos she had been living in and appreciate life’s simple moments—reconnecting with family, observing small acts of kindness, and reflecting on what truly mattered.

This prayer calls upon the Holy Spirit to send forth guardian angels for guidance, protection, and strength, drawing from key biblical encounters with angels. It reflects on the angels who rolled away the stone at Christ’s tomb, asking for obstacles to be removed in our own spiritual journeys. It recalls Gabriel’s message to Zechariah, reminding us to trust in God’s promises even in moments of doubt. The prayer invokes the angels who sang to the shepherds, urging us to be bearers of hope, and the angel who led Joseph to Egypt, encouraging us to follow God’s will despite challenges. Like the angel who directed Philip, it calls us to serve others in love, and like those who freed Peter, it asks for freedom from the chains that bind us and our loved ones. Michael the Archangel is invoked for strength in spiritual battles, and the prayer concludes by pointing to Christ’s ascension, urging us to keep our eyes fixed on God’s divine plans. It is a plea for divine assistance in every direction of life, reinforcing our trust in God’s guiding hand.
