Frequently Asked Questions

Do guardian angels exist?

Matthew 18:10 suggests that children have specific angels assigned to them. Hebrews 1:14 describes all angels as 'ministering spirits' sent to serve believers. While the Bible doesn't use the exact phrase 'guardian angel,' the concept of angelic protection over individuals is clearly taught.

Can we pray to angels?

No — prayer is directed to God alone. Angels are servants of God, not objects of worship (Revelation 22:8-9). However, we can thank God for His angelic protection and ask Him to dispatch His angels on our behalf, as Scripture shows He does.
