why do innocent children suffer if there are guardian angels?
Why do innocent children die and suffer ? where was their guardian angel? where was God?
I once felt lucky that i was being protected,and my kids were being protected when i asked god to protect them or to show me a sign i was being listened to (i got many unmistakable signs!) infact many amazing things have happened to me [ i will share 2 ] 1: I was 17 and i was at a house party i knew the owner of the house & i was with a friend she wanted to stay, i wanted to go home but she drove. 2 men at the party asked if i needed a ride so i figured they were safe if they knew the owner of the house ( im 17) so i took the ride. well back in then the cars had one long front seat so three could sit in front. the men arranged it so i would sit in the middle. on the way home they veered off the road into a huge state park it was pitch black it looked like the pine trees went on forever,i was scared but stayed calm then the car stopped deep in the forest and the men were silent, they turned on the car light and pulled out a 6 pack of beer. I said no thanks i dont like beer and they began to drink. i was plotting how i would get out of the car in a calm way. i looked up while they were drinking and said please God help me. just at that very moment we saw in the blackness 2 headlights come driving through the woods, it was a state police car!! he pulled up next to the car and had the passenger unroll his window shined the flashlight in and said "do you know these men?" i screamed no! and he said get out of the car. later at the station he said "you know i never come through this way but something told me to take a look"! i am sure that was more than a coinsidence. #2 my dad died at age 73 we sat by his bedside we decide to put take him off the respirator etc. (it was his wish) it was 8 pm on the 12th floor of the hospital me and my 2 sisters sat at his bedside in silence watching the oxygen go down on the monitor. i turned away and was looking out the window for 1 minute all the time having my hand on top of my dads head suddenly i felt a presence a movement in the still of the room that made me jerk my head around to see- it was 11:20 pm now and it was at that minute that i turned my head to see that my father died and what i saw when i turned my head was a vision similar to that of gas rising off the road on a hot summer day in the distance it looked like a clear haze it was gone in less than 2seconds.. no one else saw it. i believe that i saw my father leaving or the angel who comes to take those to the other side. many other amazing things have occured too. i have always since 14 years old been searching for the truth i have tried many religions and i thought i finally figured it out after years and much effort! then recently i found in my book shelf an old magazine i had,in it there was an article on holocaust, and a question was asked quite bluntly .."why did God let little children roast to death screaming in ovens ?" Traumatized ,i cried all night-my entire faith in god/angels my rock of support – shattered! i dont think anyone has the answer for this. why would god answer some prayers and not the prayers of those poor poor parents who lost their kids!! why would i be special and not innocent children and terrified parents!!! i must be lucky thats all. and i thought i was actually getting signs– maybe just coinsidences?! i thought everything happened for a reason. and all the bad that has happened to me i thought it was a "learning experience meant to bring me closer to god and the truth has been what? In 46 years i havent lost my faith no matter what until this article.any one have an anwer? and yes i did look at rabbi kushners book didnt help convince me. sincerely, shattered faith ~

Are you sure there are "guardian angels"?

If they do exist, then for sure they are doing a bad job, or no job at all.

this is always assuming that you believe in all the things that you believe in???

personally do not see the question in all that ramble, maybe the religion section would be of more use to you.

I don’t believe in guardian angels, but I do believe everything happens for a reason. There are many tragedies and horrors in the world. Life is difficult death is the easy part. It does not last that long.
I saw my grandmother go from a tall strong healthy woman to skin and bones, ravaged by cancer. I was so sad when she died and I selfishly wished she were still here, but if she were still here she would still be suffering. The way we leave may be sad but where we end up is supposed to be wonderful. I feel bad that others suffer, but I wont let that ruin my faith.

I don’t know the answers to those things either. I also have a lot of problems understanding (I am a father and have a son too) how God so loved the world that he gave his only son to die for the salvation of all who honestly believe in him and accept him. I also have a very hard time understanding the depth of love, obedience to his father, and commitment that Christ had to be able to come into this world and make the ultimate sacrifice.

I simply refuse to let an article or a person, or any event take my faith. I choose to, instead, hold on to my faith and then have the faith that someday I will understand. And, for now, that’s all I have to offer.

Cops often have hunches, good cops get lucky and solve or prevent crimes this way, you were saved by a lucky cop. You were looking out through the window into the darkness and suddenly turned to your father and saw a haze. Most likely your eyes were adjusting to the sudden change in light, from dark to well lit, What you felt was probably your father’s body relaxation as he died. I’m not saying there are no guarding angels. God make angels before he made us, so the story goes. To protect when needed, to guide us to Him when it is our turn. Guardian angels were busy during the Holocaust guiding all those souls to God because it was their time. This is what I think.
