Telephone services let you call and request help
Out of a job, "Snooky" from Maryland turns to an 800 number. It's not an employment service, though. It's a 24-hour prayer line. The call reaches the home of an 89-year-old woman -- one of a legion of volunteers -- who writes down the woman's prayer request and asks God to help.

Scripture speaks a lot about angels; it even indicates a ranking of angels and archangels, seraphim and cherubim. The ranking seems to have less to do with power and authority and more to do with function. The word angel means "messenger" and their most important work appears to be that of delivering messages from God to man.
