God forgive me but I call them the angels of randomness. They protect some and let others die regardless of prayer or purpose.

Oh. Well. Angels do not DECIDE who lives or dies of course.

God is sovereign and only HE makes those decisions.

Angels only carry out the Father’s Will, the Son’s will, and the will of those who belong to them.

So your argument is not with the angels but with God.

And He is not bothered that you have these concerns. He asks that you come to Him and talk with Him about it.

He will show you, longs to show you, and help you to understand the concerns you have - how come all of this pain, how come the death, the horrors of life here on earth for so many, etc.

He says if we lack wisdom, or seek wisdom, all we have to do is to ask Him for it and He will give it to us.

I pray that is what you do.

God bless you!

They protect some and let others die regardless of prayer or purpose.
 
 
 
 

 
 
    
Jake, the rancher, went one day
 To fix a distant fence.
 The wind was cold and gusty
 And the clouds rolled gray and dense.
 
 As he pounded the last staples in
 And gathered tools to go,
 The temperature had fallen,
 The wind and snow began to blow.
 
 When he finally reached his pickup,
 He felt a heavy heart.
 From the sound of that ignition
 He knew it wouldn't start.
 
 So Jake did what most of us
 Would do if we had been there.
 He humbly bowed his balding head
 And sent aloft a prayer.
 
 As he turned the key for the last time,
 He softly cursed his luck
 They found him three days later,
 Frozen stiff in that old truck.
 
 Now Jake had been around in life
 And done his share of roaming.
 But when he saw Heaven, he was shocked -
 It looked just like Wyoming !
 
 Of all the saints in Heaven,
 His favorite was St. Peter .
 
So they sat and talked a minute or two,
 Or maybe it was three.
 Nobody was keeping' score --
 In Heaven, time is free.
 
 'I've always heard,' Jake said to Pete ,
 'that God will answer prayer,
 But one time I asked for help,
 Well, he just plain wasn't there.'
 
 'Does God answer prayers of some,
 And ignore the prayers of others?
 That don't seem exactly square --
 I know all men are brothers.'
 
 'Or does he randomly reply,
 Without good rhyme or reason?
 Maybe, it's the time of day,
 The weather or the season.'
 
 'Now I ain't trying to act smart,
 It's just the way I feel.
 And I was wondering', could you tell me 
 What the heck's the deal?!'
 
 Peter listened very patiently
 And when Jake was done,
 There were smiles of recognition,
 And he said, 'So, you're the one!!'
 
 That day your truck, it wouldn't start,
 And you sent your prayer a flying,
 You gave us all a real bad time,
 With hundreds of us trying.'
 
 'A thousand angels rushed,
 To check the status of your file,
 But you know, Jake , we hadn't heard
 From you in quite a long while.'
 
 'And though all prayers are answered,
 And God ain't got no quota,
 He didn't recognize your voice,
 And started a truck in Minnesota'!
