Psalm 34:7 New Revised Standard Version
7 The angel of the LORD encamps around
those who fear him, and delivers them.
Psalm 91:9a & 11 RSV
9a Because you have made the LORD your refuge...
11 ...he will give his angels charge of you
to guard you in all your ways.
Hebrews 12:1 NRSV
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great
a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight
and sin that easily distracts.
Our most commonly used prayer includes the words
"Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven"
which draws our attention to a spirit world,
some would add "beyond the grave"
But Psalm 34:7 tells us that spirit creatures (angels)
are close to believers and have beneficial influences
on us--here and now.
Psalm 91:9a and 11 confirms this and Hebrews 12:1
reveals to us that we are never alone: and that we are
permanently surrounded by angels and saints
who have a keen interest in our exploits .
