With Every Heart Cry, There is an Angel Assigned to You
Introduction
Have you ever wondered if heaven hears your cries? Sometimes it feels like our prayers disappear into the air, but the truth is—God hears as He is near to the broken hearted. His love is so intentional that He assigns angels to respond, protect, and minister to His children.
Scripture & Truth
Before I share my story, let’s look at what the Word of God says about angels:
- Psalm 34:7 (NKJV)
“The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.”
→ Angels surround and deliver those who fear the Lord. - Hebrews 1:14 (NKJV)
“Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?”
→ Angels are assigned to minister to believers—our cries never go unnoticed. - Daniel 9:23 (NLT)
“The moment you began praying, a command was given. And now I am here to tell you what it was, for you are very precious to God.”
→ Heaven moves swiftly at the sound of a faithful prayer. - Matthew 18:10 (NKJV)
“Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven.”
→ Every child of God has angelic guardianship.
I know this to be true because I’ve experienced it personally many times over the course of my life…
My Story
I was about 25 years old when my then estranged husband came to pick up the kids for visitation. That left me alone for the summer, and during that time, I moved in with a young woman I didn’t know well. She seemed to be a decent person, very friendly and obliging. She encouraged me to room-mate with her in order that in doing so it might help me save money for a vehicle and get steady work after my classes as a Phlebotomy Technician were completed. All in pursuit of preparing for my children’s return.
But after moving in, I began to notice her lifestyle was very different from mine. She invited men over at all hours of the night, had parties, and lived in ways that were far from God. Someone even mentioned to me later that they believed she was a lady of the night, and wanted to know if I also was living that way? Which left me shocked to the core of my soul and left me continually uneasy.
I remember one night in my own room, I felt completely heartbroken and lonely, missing my children and feeling like I had no one who shared my faith. Surrounded by darkness and immorality, I cried out to God with all my heart:
“Lord, I need to be around other Christians. Please, I can’t do this alone.”
With great love I felt the Angel of the Lord wrap his arms around me and steadied my heart by putting me to sleep.
Not long after, my roommate had a court date related to a man who had assaulted her. Since I had witnessed his behavior, I agreed to testify. But when the day came, she went ahead without me. I had to take the bus in an unfamiliar city, and by the time I arrived, the case had already been dismissed.
As I walked outside, I noticed news crews and crowds of people gathering. Curious but shy, I planned to just cross the street and head home. But as I stepped toward the curb on the adjacent side of the street, an angel appeared. He told me, “Go back.”
I paused, confused. He repeated, “Turn around and go back.”
So, in obedience, I did. I had no idea why, but I stopped and asked a man nearby, “Excuse me, could you tell me what’s happening here?”
He looked at me kindly and said, “Don’t you know? It’s National Prayer Day. Hundreds of Christians are gathering here to pray.”
I was stunned. Just the night before, I had wept before the Lord, longing to be among His people. Now here I was, surrounded by hundreds of believers, brought together for prayer.
The man went on to say he was leading the prayer that day. Then, to my surprise, he looked at me and said, “Would you lead us in prayer instead?”
I was overwhelmed. “But I’m not anybody,” I told him.
He shook his head and replied, “No, you really are. You were called to be here. I can see God all over you.”
Through tears, I took the microphone. I opened my mouth, and the Lord filled it. Prayers of blessing flowed over the city, over His people, and over His will being done. That day, on the street corner in Bakersfield, California, during National Prayer Day in the year 2000, God answered the cry of my heart.
The night before, He had comforted me in my tears. That morning, He sent an angel to guide me back to a gathering of believers. And then, in His kindness, He gave me favor to lead prayer before hundreds of people.
I walked away from that experience knowing two things for certain:
- God hears every cry of the broken hearted.
- He really does assign His angels to guard, guide, and deliver His children.
Reflection & Encouragement
Friend, if God hears my cries and sends angels to guide me, then He hears yours too. No sincere prayer goes unnoticed. No tear is unseen. Angels are still at work today—on assignment from heaven for you. My prayer is that as they lead you, that you will listen, and your hearts be made glad.
Closing & Invitation
With every heart cry, there is an angel assigned to you. God loves you too much to leave you unguarded or unheard.
Have you ever encountered a moment that led you to believe the angels of the Lord were with you? I’d love to hear your story in the comments.
