Looking for an angel

        Some people believe in angels who guide us and each person has a special angel to protect him.
        God gave the devil permission to harass one of His most faithful, Job, but not to kill him. God believed in His power because it was supported by Job’s belief who believed in God as well.
        Then, what were the instructions that God’s angels received to protect humanity? Job wasn’t protected by angels and the devil was free to do what he wanted with him.
        Did our angel receive the same power against the devil?
      Job wondered why God decided to abandon him. And about us, are we abandoned too? Or does the angels’ presence exist to support us since we follow the game’s rules? There is no guarantee about the existence of angels and their missions.
       When we are down, we pray to God or our angel to find an exit door to go ahead and overcome our obstacles. Sometimes, there are no warnings because the exit door can be in front of us, and we don’t want to see it or accept it. Then, what can the angel do, in this case?
       If we create problems and decide to execute actions because we don’t think about an exit door, we will have to solve them.
       But there are coincidences as if someone moving pieces on a chessboard, and things happen and everything fits together by themselves. Some people say that these things are pure chance, a miracle, and there is no explanation. Because we don’t check our power and capacity to reach this exit door and don’t imagine our capacity to react or we scorn it.
      But there are other things that appear from naught and we don’t believe in these things because coincidences are beyond our thoughts. These things happen once in life, and we need to think about them. Do we have to scorn a gift that, literally, came from heaven?
       Well, angels may be teachers who help us but we need to have willpower like students. We can make mistakes once. Twice? No way. In this case, there is no angel to solve them.
       We can imagine angels in our life, and that’s good! We hope that these beings exist for our protection! If we overload them, it will be a hard task for them even though they are angels.
       Then, we have to think twice before our actions. We mustn’t bring trouble to them, our teachers. At the end of our life, or if we are suffering, their hands support us because they are not able to perform miracles, I think. But if something happens with us like a very rare coincidence, think about it: Maybe, there is an angel assigned to you and it seems that you didn’t cause enough trouble, and there is someone there, in heaven, who likes you.
