That's a good point.In the meantime, I'd suggest saving your prayers for someone omniscient, who can actually hear you, ...
Praying to Mary or to any Saint in Heaven
By Tim Staples
have you read the psalms? full of prayers no high priest necessary; how about Daniel he prays in Ch 1 2 9 very wonderful prayers. Abraham's servant prayed when looking fro Isaac's wife.I don't understand which part of John 14:6 they don't understand . Did they remove this verse from thier bible of they simply ignore it's egsistance?
Most people now don't realise how hard it was to actually pray to God before church age , there had to be high-priest from tribe of Levi , moreover only sons of Aaron could be high-priest and it was only once a year and not without blood !
Now you have Christ himself as the most high king and priest sitting on right hand of his Father , meaning that his work is completed , back in day Levi priests could not sit in holy of holys because there was nothing to sit on , thier job was not finished .
Since you have your king and priest praying for you right now , maybe you could pray to him only and his name is Jesus Christ not Mary , how hard is it to understand for there people ?
Hebrews 4:14-16
Every time you pray to Mary you blasphemy your high priest and king Jesus Christ , keep doing that but you will be judged for it i'm just saying what bible says about it .
Show me one example from the Bible of anyone ever praying to Mary. Show me one verse from the Bible where the Apostles gave instruction to pray to Mary.I am sorry that you do not understand that the saints are alive with Christ. It is not blasphemy to ask his mother to ask things of him. The wedding at Cana is a biblical example.

So you don't pray for others? You don't ask others to pray for you?

That answers half of the question, what about the other part?Praying for others is not the same as praying to others.

Sly and slippery.2Th 2:15
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
Forgive me...
Sly and slippery.
They did not teach it by word or by tradition or their epistles.so you departed from them in order to impose your own.
I don`t worship your fake Godess Mary.
I think in THAT situation God may actually let her know something like that, but it's not like she's a deity who you could pray to for help or something, I mean I've had times when I just thought "Paul did you ever go through stuff like this?" And wondered if God makes him aware I'm speaking to him or not, but that's really not... it's not the same as asking Paul for help instead of Jesus, that's more of a gray area I don't think we have much of a way to know this side of heaven.Goodness gracious.
If this is the case, then it sounds like if you are led to pray to a particular saint for some reason, it may not get you in trouble. This happened to me the other day:
I was practicing singing, and I had chosen the song, "Mary did you know?" as the subject of my training. Halfway through my first attempt at a run through, I started singing in the spirit and my own lyrics that escaped during the bridge were as follows,
"Now what are you gonna do Mary? What are you gonna do now that you know baby, now you know Jesus got to go. He got to go to the cross... what are you gonna do?"
This led to me stripping the headset from my head, falling to my knees while weeping and begging Mary for forgiveness that it was my sin that caused her to have to witness her flesh and blood son tortured so. This went on for several minutes until I realized that I was in essence praying to the spirit of Mary, and I stopped and rebuked myself for attempting to communicate with spirits.
Did I have to rebuke myself? Or was my prayer brought to God by Mary and acknowledged because if so, PRAISE GOD
