I required knee surgery a few years ago; I prayed a lot before surgery asking God to guide the hands of all those in the theatre and to bring me safely out of the anesthetic. I apparently inhaled too deeply the anesthetic and had a hard time coming back into consciousness.

I remember being very frightened, as I did not want to die — I had so much more to live for. Immediately, a white light appeared and a voice encouraged me. It said, “Breathe, breathe, you can do it, you will come out of the anesthetic. Do not fight it.”

I know it was an angel of God speaking to me, so I can attest to angels being present all the time and having us always in their care. I have experienced it.
