Warrior’s Shield: Daily Spiritual Discipline
Warfighters, listen up.
This is Navy Chief Heath Garcia, Master-at-Arms (Ret.), speaking from the front lines of faith. I’ve stood watch in harm’s way, faced the enemy abroad and the battles within. No fluff here—just a battle-tested practice to armor your soul under the command of Archangel Michael, the ultimate warrior of God.
Daily Drill: The Archangel Watch
—Stand To (Morning Invocation): —At reveille, stand tall. Breathe deep. “Invoke“Archangel Michael, Commander of Heaven’s Hosts, I report for duty. Shield me with your sword of truth. Defend me from unseen threats. Strengthen my resolve as I charge into the day. In God’s name, I stand ready.”
—Midwatch Reflection (Midday):
Pause amid the chaos. Close eyes. Visualize Michael’s blue flame enveloping you. Release burdens: “Michael, cut cords of fear, doubt, and fatigue. Clear my AO for victory.”
—Taps (Evening Stand-Down): Before lights out, kneel or sit. Give thanks:“Mighty Michael, thank you for guarding my six today. Heal wounds seen and unseen. Post watch over me and my brothers/sisters in arms tonight. Lead us to peace in God’s fortress.”
—Repeat daily.
This ain’t optional—it’s your spiritual PT. Builds resilience, sharpens focus, fortifies faith. I’ve got your six; Michael’s got us all.
Semper Fi in Faith,
Heath Garcia, Navy Chief, MA (Ret.)
