Can you demonstrate anywhere in Scripture that we are to pray to angels?

Why not the Holy Spirit that dwells within the regenerated?

Please explain. I don't understand your answer. Thank you.

Okay. I get what you were saying. Yes, why NOT pray to the Almighty rather than created beings - whether angels or humans? We know from Scripture that angels are ministering spirits of God, that they work to accomplish His will whether on earth or in heaven. Praying TO them, like some do to departed "Saints", seems to be something God would have told us somewhere to do if, indeed, it is of any benefit to us. It's enough to know that God protects His elect with these beings. I've had a few experiences where there was no other explanation than that an (my?) angel was used by God to protect me. But, I never thought I needed to pray to that being instead of thanking God.
