Each person is accompanied by a guardian angel, which acts as a guide throughout life. They originally patrolled the boundaries of the ramparts of heaven, but volunteer to descend to earth to stand by individuals to the end of their days.
Our guardian angels watch over us to offer protection, especially when our souls need protecting. They aid our prayer by interceding for us, and help to prepare our souls for the moment when we stand before God at our death.
Abrahamic religions often depict angels as benevolent celestial intermediaries between God (or Heaven) and humanity. Other roles include protectors and guides for humans, such as guardian angels, and servants of God. Abrahamic religions describe angelic hierarchies, which vary by religion and sect.
Psalm 91:11-12
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.
(Hebrews 1:14) Our Lord's love for us is so great that He not only sent His Son to redeem us from sin, death, and hell, but He sends His holy angels to protect us no matter which direction our lives go. Under the cross of Christ, with God's holy angels watching over us, what can Satan do to us?
In Christianity, the hierarchy of angels was extensively developed in the 5th century by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. The theology of angels and tutelary spirits has undergone many changes since the 5th century. The belief is that guardian angels serve to protect whichever person God assigns them to.
“For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.” God has commanded angels to guard you. God has given angels, not your circumstance, not your situation, the authority to act on your behalf.
The Lord has not revealed whether one specific angel is assigned to watch over each person, but you can be assured that divine protection and comfort are available. If you exercise faith, you will have God's help, including angels sent to strengthen and comfort you and give you courage to do what is right.

The number refers to a triumph of "God's number" 7 over the Devil's number 666.
[12] Angels cannot truly eat or drink or feel the warmth of the sun or experience physical pain. Neither an angel nor a demon could conceive a child, despite what Rosemary's Baby or The Omen tell you. In contrast, the living body of a human being is that human being and to touch that body is to touch somebody.
Each person is assigned four Hafaza angels, two of which keep watch during the day and two during the night. Muhammad is reported to have said that every man has ten guardian angels. Ali ben-Ka'b/Ka'b bin 'Ujrah, and Ibn 'Abbas read these as angels.
Feelings and Physical Sensations
Sometimes your angels will try to get your attention through physical sensations like tingling, a feeling of warmth spreading over you, a light touch on your hand, a feeling of someone gently stroking your hair, or even a tangible presence in the room with you.
When angels are near, some experts say you may notice a cool breeze, a dip in temperature in the room or feel a warm, loving presence close by. Some have experienced ringing in the ears or tingling on the crown of their head, which they believe are signs that the angels are trying to communicate.
God has asked angels to encounter us at times, so they choose the best approach. As we become more aware of them, we may train our minds to welcome God's divine hosts in any state, waking or sleeping.
Angels see, and so do believers in heaven.
For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 18:10). Angels see the face of God. They are spirits. They do not have eyeballs or retinas, but they see the face of God.
They will often send us signs and symbols when we are struggling with hardships. Angel signs and symbols may also appear when we are going through a spiritual awakening. This is because we are becoming more in tune with higher levels of consciousness and spirit guides.
I am frequently asked how to communicate with a guardian angel and the answer is simple: all you have to do is ask. Your guardian angel is there all the time, waiting and hoping for you to start to listen to it. It has in fact, been touching you all along, willing you to realize that it is there.
For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Our Guardian Angels are our most faithful friends, because they are with us day and night, always and everywhere. We ought often to invoke them. Someday, in heaven, you will know your angel's most holy name.
“Bring me the two most precious things in the city,” said God to one of His Angels; and the Angel brought Him the leaden heart and the dead bird. “You have rightly chosen,” said God, “for in my garden of Paradise this little bird shall sing for evermore, and in my city of gold the Happy Prince shall praise me.”
