Angels are messengers of divine providence. Angels are alway available to help you. Angels are messengers of divine guidance. Angels communicate with us through inspiration. Get in touch with your angels, utilize their help, and, most importantly, learn how to love life the way Angels do.
Things of heaven cannot be attained by perserverance; they are the grace of God. To open to this and trust in it is how belief is crystallized into faith. We cannot pay for it in any form, in any way, by our goodness, by our piety, by our great qualities, merits, or virtues; nothing. It is a gift, and all we can do is receive it.
Hazrat Inayat Kahn
If anyone has hurt me or harmed me knowingly or unknowingly in thought, word, or deed, I freely forgive them.
And I too ask forgiveness if I have hurt anyone or harmed anyone knowingly or unknowingly in thought, word, or deed.
May I be happy
May I be peaceful
May I be free
May my friends be happy
May my friends be peaceful
May my friends be free
May my enemies be happy
May my enemies be peaceful
May my enemies be free
May all beings be happy
May all beings be peaceful
May all beings be free

Happiness is not in our circumstances but in ourselves.
It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire.
Happiness is something we are.
John Sheerin
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
To whom His love commits me here;
Ever this day [night]. be at my side,
To light and guard, to rule and guide.
Guardian Angel Prayer
Barefoot and dirty, the little girl just sat in the park and watched people go by. She never tried to speak, she never said a word. Many people passed, but not one person glanced her way, no one stopped, including me.
The next day I decided to go back to the park, curious if the little girl would still be there. Right in the very spot she was yesterday, she sat perched on high, with the saddest look in her eyes. But today I could not just walk away, concerned only with my affair. Instead I found myself walking over to the little girl. For as we all know, a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone.
As I began walking towards her, I could see the back of the little girl's dress indicated a deformity. I figured that was the reason the people just passed by and made no effort to care. As I got closer, the little girl slightly lowered her eyes to avoid my intent stare. I could see the shape of her back more clearly. It was grotesquely shaped in a humped over form. I smiled to let her know it was okay, I was there to help, to talk.
I sat down beside her and opened with a simple "hello." The little girl acted shocked and stammered a "hi" after a long stare into my eyes. I smiled and she shyly smiled back. We talked 'til darkness fell and the park was completely empty. Everyone was gone and we were alone.
I asked the girl why she was so sad. The little girl looked at me and said, "Because I am different."
I immediately said "That you are!" and smiled.
The little girl acted even sadder, she said, "I know."
"Little girl," I said "you remind me of an angel, sweet and innocent."
She looked at me and smiled slowly, she stood to her feet and said, "Really?"
Yes, dear, you're like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by."
She nodded her head 'yes' and smiled, and with that she spread her wings and said, "I am. I'm your guardian angel," with a twinkle in her eye.
I was speechless, sure I was seeing things.
She said, "And when you began thinking of someone other than yourself, my job here was done."
Immediately I stood to my feet and said, "Wait, so why did no one else stop to help an angel?"
She looked at me and smiled, "You're the only one who could see me," and she was gone. With that my life was changed dramatically.
So when you think you're all you have, remember, your angel is always watching over you. Mine was....
For every one of your friends is an angel in his or her own way.
