But nothing in Scripture that tells us it's an experience we should seek out or that we should seek them out as Godly protection.
In the armor of God, angelic protection is not amongst the things we should seek to help us through the traps of this life.
Unless there's a portion of Scripture I'm completely missing/forgetting, that is.

In fact, is there not scripture which warns about our attitude towards angels, to beware of getting involved in worshipping them?. Not saying Aquila is worshipping some angel named 'Sam' but consider - the catholics began with 'high respect' for departed saints and wind up praying to them, kissing their icons and statues, burning incense to their statues and icons, etc etc...
Seems like a thin line that should be tread carefully. Slippery slopes and all that.
