The Bible also says that the sole purpose of the creation of angels was for them to worship God, not protect his people.
As for the "stories" of angels that help you in the ...

Does the Bible give us any indication of why God created such a vast universe with so much stuff in it?
No.
Scripture primarily focuses on three things: The nature of God, God's actions on Earth, and how humans should act on Earth.
