Angels? Have you seen them?

I had been down on my knees very deep in my prayer closet, praying that God would answer my prayer. I was talking to God about my family members and my nightly times for prayer was working. I felt that I had a one on one relationship with my God. I was not aware that there was anything else that I could have been doing to get closer to God, other than the one thing that I was doing right then. So I prayed a little harder for my family, and then as I prayed there alone in my prayer I began to wonder about something else, as I knelt there on my knees. I was thinking about angels and if I wondered if God would let me see them. But I was not sure I should even be broaching this subject to God in my prayers.

He had said that if you ask in faith believing that you could have whatever you asked for. But I just still wasn't sure enough to ask the question to God and honestly did not believe that he would send them just to me. .

So, somewhat anxiously, I began to ask God if he would show me real angels. I had read about seeing angels in real life. There are many stories told and untold, out there about people seeing real angels. But I wanted to see what they actually looked like. I didn't know if he would do it. But I thought surely that I would ask. So I Did. I know that when you are asking God for something, that he does answer your prayer. If you believe. It is really hard to believe when you are asking god to show you angels. Suddenly I began to see what I had forgotten. You see, when angels are seen and
