Is there really such a thing as a Guardian Angel?

     You bet there is!  "Throughout the Bible, there are many accounts of guardian angels providing help and protection to humans.  In the life of Jesus, we read about angels protecting Him as an infant, serving Him in the desert, and strengthening Him during His agony in the garden (Mt 1:20, 2:13, 19, 4:11; 26:53; Mk 1:13; Lk 22:43; CCC 333)  In the Acts of the Apostles,"  Peter was miraculously set free from prison and his friends thought that his angel was visiting them.  (Acts 12:15)  (Did Jesus Have a Last Name by Matthew Pinto & Jason Evert  (c) 2005 Ascension Press, LLC. , West Chester, PA  p 253)
      Psalm 91:11-12 mentions guardian angels which guard us in all our ways.  Their hands support us lest we strike our foot against a stone.  The Bible also mentions Angels in charge of watching over cities/nations and even churches.  Daniel 10 speaks of such an angel.  The book of Revelation speaks to the Angels over the churches of Ephesus, and Smyrna, and Pergamum, and Philadelphia, and Laodicea, and Sardis, and Thyatira. 
     Isn't it a wonderful thought that God loves us so much that He has protectors over us in many places of our path!
