"The Lord is here with us, not in person, but his angels
are around us, and he takes cognizance of every act of the children of men, as
individuals and as nations. He is here ready by his agents, the angels,
and by the power of his Holy Spirit and Priesthood, which he has restored in
these last days, to bring most perfect and absolute deliverance unto all who put
their trust in him, when they are ready to receive it." — Brigham Young,
"Journal of Discourses," 11:14

"I have had the administration of angels in my day and time, though I
never prayed for an angel. I have had, in several instances, the
administration of holy messengers." —
Wilford Woodruff, "The Discourses of Wilford Woodruff," Chapter 24,
page 286

"The angels are our watchmen, for Satan said to Jesus, 'He shall give
his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up,
lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.' (Matthew 4:6) It would
seem from a careful perusal of the scriptures, that the angels, while God has
saints upon the earth, stay in this lower world to ward of evil:..." — John Taylor, "The Gospel Kingdom,"
Chapter 3, p. 31

"God was with us, and His angels went before us, and the faith of our
little band was unwavering. We know that angels were our companions, for
we saw them." — Joseph Smith,
"History of the Church," 2:73

"Now, I have always said, and I want to say it to you, that the Holy
Ghost is what every Saint of God needs. It is far more important that a
man should have that gift than he should have the ministration of an angel,
unless it is necessary for an angel to teach him something that he has not been
taught." — Wilford Woodruff, Address
given at Weber Stake Conference, 7 November 1896

"All over the world, faithful Latter-day Saints are protected from the
powers of the evil one and his servants until they have finished their missions
in mortality. For some the mortal mission is brief, as with some valiant young
men who have lost their lives in missionary service. But for most of us the
mortal journey is long, and we continue our course with the protection of
guardian angels." - Dallin H. Oaks, "Bible
Stories and Personal Protection," Ensign, Nov. 1992, p. 39

"The Lord also teaches that, over the ages, if angels have ceased to
appear, it is because of unbelief and the spirit of apostasy among men. But
where there is faith, the ministry of angels will last as long as the earth
shall stand or 'there shall be one man upon the face thereof to be saved.' (Moro.
7:36.) Because the Lord desires to save mankind, even until the end, He
revealed to John the Revelator that in the latter days angels would again fly
through the midst of heaven as emissaries of the Almighty. John saw that one of
these angels would fly from heaven to earth and would bring the everlasting
gospel back to earth, it having been lost to mankind over the ages. (See Rev.
14:6.)" - Mark E. Petersen, "The
Angel Moroni Came!" Ensign, November 1983, p. 29

"Who would dare to say that angels do not now attend the rank and file of
the Church who-
"answer the calls to the mission fields,
"teach the classes,
"pay their tithes and offerings,
"seek for the records of their forebears,
"work in the temples,
"raise their children in faith,
"and have brought this work through [the] years?...
"I feel compelled,... to certify to you that I know that the day of
miracles has not ceased.
"I know that angels minister unto men." - Boyd K. Packer, "A
Tribute to the Rank and File of the Church," Ensign, May 1980, p. 65

"There are people who care, even when we don't
know it. I wonder how many parents pray silently for their kids? How many sons
and daughters must silently pull for their mom or dad? In how many crises do
friends silently cheer for each other? I am convinced that they are almost
innumerable. Of course, there's only one thing better than rooting silently:
that's rooting silently and vocally; to let those around us know we really care.
"But there are those who feel that they don't get much support, silent or
otherwise. To you in particular I want to give my assurance that there are those
who cheer from on high. God created us and loves us. More than anything else, he
desires our righteous success now and our safe return to him later. When we feel
no other support, we can count on him. To David of old and to us he said, 'Wait
on the Lord: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thy heart' (Ps.
27:14)." - Paul H. Dunn, "The
Cheering Section," Ensign, June 1980, 5
