What the Bible says about Guardian Angels
Neither the Old nor the New Testament contains such a name as Guardian Angel, but many places in the Bible speak of angels.
In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus warns not to offend any of His disciples, for their Angels see the face of God. (Matthew 18:10) Nothing is said here whether these are personal Angels, but God sent good defenders to people who proclaimed messages from God.
In the Gospel of Luke we read how an Angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah and announced the future birth of a son. (Luke:11-13).
The Lord never leaves his children unprotected; his ministering good spirits are ready to intervene in human life in times of danger. Psalm 90:11 clearly states that the Lord commands Angels to protect people at all times.

Help from the Guardian Angel through prayers
Starting a new day or heading off to sleep, getting ready for a trip or work, you should invite God’s messenger with you, doing this through prayer.
Oh, holy angel, interceding before our Creator for my soul, my body and my life! Do not leave me and do not depart from me for all my sins. I ask you, do not let the evil demon take possession of my soul and my body. Strengthen my soul and direct it to the true path. I ask you, angel of God and guardian of my soul, forgive me all the sins with which I have offended you throughout my unrighteous life. Forgive all my sins that I committed on the past day, and protect me on the new day. Save my soul from various temptations, so that I do not anger our Creator. I ask you, pray for me before our Creator, so that His mercy and peace of mind may come to me. Amen.
A true Christian will constantly thank the Guardian Angel for support and help, listening to his advice, which sometimes sounds like an inner voice.
When praying for the road, you should be attentive to the manifestation of unusual signs. If something delays you before leaving the house, you should not run, perhaps your protector has already sensed trouble. Sometimes a person is stuck in a traffic jam, late for a plane that flies away without him and crashes upon landing. There is repeated evidence of how, during an accident, an unknown force pulled people out of vehicles a few minutes before the explosion.
When going for an operation, you should ask the Angel to be nearby and guide the actions of the doctors.
Important! We must not forget that God sends spiritual protectors; first of all, He cares about His children, faithful followers of His teachings.
Divine protection is removed from sinners until the time of repentance and confession.
The Orthodox Church offers Christians to pray several types of prayers, including:
- prayer to the Guardian Angel for every day;
- request for help; message of thanks;
- petition for children and grandchildren;
- prayer request for good luck.
God's messengers know how to influence the human mind, read the thoughts of their ward, even control him, but they are not omnipresent, like God. Unlike the Creator, angels are not given the ability to be in different places at certain times.
A sensitive protector will always help in good deeds, but you cannot ask him for something bad, so as not to reap the consequences of your evil later. In prayer, the Guardian Angel should open up completely, show that you are confident in help and repent of what you have done. God deals with hypocritical people according to their hypocrisy.
