Beyond seeing us through our life’s journey angels are used by God to orchestrate certain events along that journey. We experience nothing by chance and as Isaac the Syrian said: “in his ascetical homilies that our Guardian Angels actually take part in managing the so-called ‘accidental occurrences’ in our lives. God intends trials and testing as tools for teaching and training and angels participate in His plans for us. There is a guardian for each one of us and nothing escapes his notice and who nothing weakens. If we take our trials as training then our guardian angels assume their place as coaches helping us get through the moment, urging us on, praying for us even arranging the circumstances for our victory if we respond as God desires. If we seek to fulfill God’s will, we will have the angels of heaven as our guide.
