Well, it helps to know a little about what to expect. The specific functions of the adult angels often relate to either life task or relationships, but it could be something more specific. It depends on what is going on at any given time. For example, when a person first becomes a mother, she will need the extra assistance of an angel for the next twenty years of so, just to deal with all the extra tasks which now devolve upon her. One can always ask for extra help, for a short or long-term task.
Some angels work with a number of people.
For example, Archangel Raphael works with a number of healers. Most people have a guardian angel who has been with them since before their birth. Everyone receives angel messages every day. They may take the form of a strong positive or negative feeling about a person you have just met, an intuition that you should not take a plane flight, or unexpected help with a problem about which you have been praying. How Angels Communicate Angels may communicate with you by arranging that someone you knew and liked in the past happens to be the policeman who is called to deal with a situation you are involved in, so that you are not frightened but soothed in a difficult situation.
