The nature of angels has been debated for centuries. Even in today's industrial age, when one would think the world has discounted the existence of the heavenly messengers, a large number of people still believe in angels. They exist in nearly all religions in some form or the other and are always there to help humanity.

But do angels lend aid only in life-threatening emergencies or do they sometimes assist in such mundane activities as finding parking spaces? A lively debate ensued on one Internet mailing list, with most people agreeing that if you ask, the "parking angel" will come through.

How silly is this? Well, try it out. Before going out to a place where parking is problematic, consider calling on your parking angel and asking (preferably out loud, even if you mumble) for help in finding a spot, thank the angel, and then go about your business. Don't be surprised if you feel a little tingle in response. That's your angel letting you know that it is enthused to be asked. Angels, particularly guardian angels, exist to aid you in your lifetime on earth, and they don't like like being ignored. So, even if all you're asking for is a parking space, they will be delighted.

Go about your business. You don't necessarily need to remember your request. Chances are you'll find a spot reasonably close to the front door of your destination. One person, who believes very much in parking angels, said that someone will rush out of a store, and back out of a space--just to make room for her. It might sound incredible, but just notice how often this actually will happen.

Once the concept of parking angel has been established, it's easy to go on and ask for more important things such as health, money, a better job, maybe even for the welfare of an animal. Once engaged, angels just seem to explode with power, eager to be enlisted when you need help. They don't always provide help exactly when you want it, only when it is the right time for the miracle to happen. As the prayer goes, "thy will be done." If it's not the divine will for your job to change until next year, that's the way it will happen. Special needs are not like parking, because angels must re-arrange many more situations.

Also, check your attitude. If you are moaning every day about your job and think "I'll never get a promotion," well, that's exactly what you'll get. Help your angel out and think positively about being in that bright new office or getting a bigger check in the mail.

All of this must be done with an open mind. If you are of the opinion that angels only help when a car is overturned or when a truck is speeding toward your child, well, it's not going to be easy to overcome the doubt and believe in parking angels. But for those who want to give this easy exercise a try, the angels will come through.
