Scripture seems to support the idea that we have an angel assigned to our welfare. But there is no indication that we can talk to them, worship angels, or command them to do our bidding.
Psalm 34:7
The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.
Hebrews 1:14
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Psalm 91:11,12
For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
They will bear you up in their hands,
That you do not strike your foot against a stone.
Matthew 18:10
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
In Acts 12, Peter is miraculously released from prison when an angel visits him at night. Peter escapes and returns to the house where a group is gathered praying for Peter. A servant girl, Rhoda, goes to answer the door, hears Peter's voice, and is so excited, she forgets to open the door, but instead she runs back to tell the others that Peter is there.
"You’re out of your mind," they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, "It must be his angel." (Acts 12:15 NIV)
