Seriously, should I pray to angels?

While men of the underworld are busy invoking demons for the continuous reign of the dominion of darkness in our country, we Christians simply cannot afford – on shallow doctrinal basis – to fail to invoke angels to take over the battle so that truth may shine forth in our midst and justice and peace, unity and prosperity may reign.
You see, until the sixteenth century when Protestantism broke with Catholic unity, prayer to the Angels was part of the staple diet of Christian piety. It was only after that that signs of discomfort and voices of dissension started emerging as regards this ancient practice:
Why must I distract myself by giving attention to angels? Is it not proper that I focus on God directly and exclusively?
With the coming of the Holy Spirit do the people of God still need the ministration of the Angels?
Well, I do not presume to be wiser than God. I know that where human wisdom ends is where divine wisdom begins. From time immemorial God, in his all wise providence, has chose to relate with humans through the instrumentality of angels. No human being is competent to correct a divine arrangement.
Praying to the Angels means talking with the Angels; telling them how we admire their nearness to God and look forward to joining them after we finish our earthly pilgrimage. It is thanking them for the many favours they do for us and appreciating their watchfulness over us. Praying to the Angels is asking them for what we need. All of this is just only too natural! We must keep in mind that “praying” to Angels is not the same as “worshiping” Angels. All Christians are in agreement that worshiping Angels clearly contradicts Scripture (cf. Revelation 19:9-10 and 22:8-9).
Praying to Angels will pose no difficulty at all when we remember four important biblical facts. Firstly, it is a fact that our Guardian Angels are constantly praying for us. Jesus says: “See that you never despise any of these little ones, for I tell that their Angels in heaven are continually in the presence of my Father in heaven” (Matthew 18:10). Of course, what else do Angels do in the presence of God except offering up various forms of prayer: adoration, thanksgiving, petition etc? So if in the very nature of things my Guardian Angel is always praying for me, there is certainly nothing abnormal to ask him to pray for me.
Secondly, it is a fact that Angels bring the prayers of the Saints to God. Tobit 12:15 and Revelation 8:2-4 clearly indicate this. Anyone who refuses to pray to Angels on the pretext that she wants to pray directly to God would do well to remember that even the prayers she thinks she is making directly to God are going through angelic mediation anyway!
Thirdly, it is a fact that Angels are our spiritual aides who serve us in various ways (cf. Hebrews 1:14): They deliver us from danger (cf. Psalm 34:7); they protect us in battle (cf. 2 Chronicles 32:21); they take care of our physical needs (cf. 1 kings 19:5-8); they serve as our advocate (Numbers 22:32-33); they instruct us (Acts 8:26-39); and, they announce the will of God to us (Genesis 16:1-10; 21:17, Judges 6:11-21, Luke 1:11-13, Luke 1:26-38). So it is logical to thank them for these services.
Fourthly, it is a fact that it is possible and alright to speak to Angels. In the Bible we find many people in conversation with Angels. Such is the case with Abraham (cf. Genesis 22:11); Jacob (cf. Genesis 31:11), Balaam (cf. Numbers 22:34), Samson’s Father (cf. Judges 13) the Blessed Virgin Mary (cf. Luke 1:28-38) and many others.
Praying to Angels is speaking with them after the biblical examples. Therefore, this holy practice should pose no problem at all to the believer.
