Yeah, and in the small catechism that Martin Luther wrote, his evening prayer says, Lord, send your angels to protect me from the evil one.

So for us to pray to God for protection by angelic beings, to believe and trust that he has perhaps even assigned a guardian angel to protect us, I think tells us something about the love of God the power of God, His concern for every aspect of our life. And I just find it very encouraging. Yeah.

And he says to them, by the way, do you remember that night that you led that mob to come to our house and burn it down? Why didn't you kill us? They said, well, who were all those men that you had?
