This question was asked of Dr.Billy Graham once:
If we each have a special angel protecting us, then why do we still have accidents and things like that?
Dr. Graham's answer made sense. He said he admitted that he did not" have a full answer to that question. Evil is real and none of us are free from its devastation."
But then he went on to say that nothing happens outside of God's control in a Christians life. And those that are Christians, do have angels that watch over us, guarding us in all our ways, (Psalm 91:11) and that all angels are ministering angels sent to serve those that inherit salvation. (Hebrews 1:14)
And rather than one angel, we have a host of them to protect us and go before us. Even when hard times come, they are there for us.
And to me, that seems better. Is it not greater to have a host of angels watching out for me, rather than just one?
However, we are never to worship them. And we should never go outside the bible to those that would try to sell us, or even give away their messages from angels or any other source of information about us for that matter.
There are people that go around the country and have websites dedicated to giving "angel readings." And many people are desperate to get answers to their questions about life from" their angels." Just as they are when they go to fortune tellers.
The bible is very clear when it comes to consulting these people that say they can tell you your future. Angel readings or not, we are not to participate in these kinds of things.

1“You must not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out, or you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 19:31
Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, practices divination or conjury, interprets omens, practices sorcery, 11casts spells, consults a medium or familiar spirit, or inquires of the dead. 12For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable things the LORD your God is driving out the nations before you. Deuteronomy 18:10-12
Angels do guide us, protect us and comfort us. Sometimes they bring messages of hope. But we have to keep them in context to what the bible says about them. They are God's messengers to us, but they are not to be worshipped.
Only God is worthy to be worshiped. Anything or anyone else we worship is sinning against our Creator.
