Guardian Angel -- Do we have one?

A Question I received:
"I am I infatuated with angels I hear of people talking about experience they had. I want to know if we are each given a Angel to watch over us. I need more info on this."

My Reply:
I will help you to consult the Bible, so that we can have the wisdom of God when seeking an answer.
The Father, Jesus, and the faithful angels, are not the only spirit creatures. There is Satan and the demons. People can have experiences with the wicked spirits, who are pretending to be good (2Cor.11:14-15; Matt.25:41; Eph.6:10-12).

Notice that at Eph.6:10 linked above, it reads;
"10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.".
We are being asked to trust in the power of the Lord. Do we really believe that Jesus and the Father are watching over their servants (Ps.34:15-22; Matt.10:29) (John17:12; Dan.12:1; Ps.34:7), and that they have the power to protect and help us? 
          [(Dan.12:1 "great PRINCE" Isa.9:6 (PRINCE of peace)].

Did Jesus or God ever tell us that we should look to other spirits (who may be evil) to guide or protect us? Rather than be infatuated with thoughts of spirits, would it not be safer and of more benefit to us, to follow the guidance of Jesus, at Matt.6:13?
It reads;
"13 And *abandon us not into temptation (trials,tests),[a]
    but deliver us from the evil one.”
*(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2019/10/how-to-pray.html)

 Why did Jesus direct us to pray for God to deliver/rescue us?
Because when we pray for that, we are learning that it is God, who delivers us from the evil one. It is God, who protects us, and it is God that we should look to, and ask for, protection.
Please read Ps.18:1-3:
Is God too weak, to care for us Himself? (Isa.59:1)

Rather than risk being mislead by a demon, it is best not to be infatuated with spirits, and their contact with humans. It is safer to train our heart and mind, to pray like Jesus taught us. When we do, we are learning how to cope, and in whom we should trust.

But now there is some thing new to learn, about the idea of Guardian Angels.
The word "Angel", means "messenger" in the original language the Bible was written in.
(https://biblehub.com/greek/32.htm)
       [All these verses, call humans, "angels" in the original writing:
         (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mt+11%3A10%3B+Lk+7%3A24%2C+9%3A52%3B+Gal+4%3A14%3B+Js+2%3A25&version=NIVUK)]

God and Jesus have new creation "angels" that serve them. They are spirit-born of God, and they are human (Rom.8:11,9; Eph.2:6; Rev.19:11,14; 17:14; 2Cor.10:3-5; John1:51; Gen.28:12-14; 12:7,3; 22:15-18; Gal.3:29; Gen.28:12-14).

They, have been assigned to take care of the sheep of Jesus (John21:17; Matt.5:14; Rom.1:16; 1Thess.2:7; Luke12:42; Acts 20:28; 1Cor.4:1; 2Tim.4:1-2; 1Pet.5:2-4; Matt.25:23).

If you need more help to understand about guardian angels that are human "angels" (human "messengers" of Jesus), this link may help:

Of course, Jesus cautioned us to test out those who claim to have that assignment (1John4:1; Matt.7:15-20). Just as there is a risk of being mislead by the devil and his demons; there is a risk of being mislead by the human angels that Satan is using (Rev.16:13; 13:11,15; 19:20; 1Tim.4:1; Matt.24:24-25).
Jesus has equipped us to identify the false angels, from those who are true (John7:18; Luke6:43-45; Matt.7:20) (See https://pearl-finetrees.blogspot.com)

If we find those who are genuine and acting in faithfulness, we can be cared for. They will provide spiritual protection, if they are heeded (Luke10:16; John13:20; Matt.10:40-41).
