To pray/ ask for help and thank your guardian angel reflects on the Goodness that God provides us through our angels. It all glorifies God.
And I never said anything about worshiping angels! I'm only talking with mine. Prayer can take many forms and worship is one of them but so is simple dialog.
And while talking with your guardian angel may not be specifically in the Bible, not everything is in the Bible and THAT teaching is biblical.
God bless you.

Giving compliments to each other is on a different level than talking to God. Of course I give compliments to people every day but I do not understand what that has to do with talking to angels. My family are not angels
They are people formed in the likeness of God.
The Word of God is my plumline and if it is not there then there has to be a reason that God did not put it there. He tells us there is one God and prayers are to be directed to Him and Him alone.
I understand where you are coming from but if there is nothing in the Bible about praying to angels , then I would not do it. As I said before. angels are heavenly beings and not to be worshipped and by praying to them that is a form of worship.
I thank God because he has given me angels to watch over me but all my praise and adoration goes to God and nowhere else.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord shine His countenence upon you and give you peace.
