It is our belief that all of us have guardian angels. In Heb. 1:14, there is a reference that the angels are sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation. Angels are God's hosts, His ministers, who do His pleasure, do His word (Ps. 103:20-21). They protect us from evil (Cf. 5:20-21, 6:3).
Abraham told his servant that in his journey to Mesopotamia in search of a wife to his son Isaac, God will send His angel before Eleazer (Gen. 24:7). Hungry Elijah was fed by an angel who touched him at the peak of desperation (I Kings. 19:4-8). It is said 'the angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and deliver them (Ps. 34:7, Cf. Acts 5:17-19); 8:26).
God-fearing Daniel was miraculously saved from the Lion's den by the angel (Dan. 6:16-22). In Ps. 91:10-11 we read, "No evil shall befall you for he shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways". In a strong warning against giving scandals to little ones (in faith), Jesus says 'Take heed you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you, in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven" (Mt. 18-10). At the end of the world, the angels sent to gather the elect (Mt. 24: 31) could be our own guardian angels.
