Do You Pray To Saints For Help?

Scripture is replete with passages referring to saints as true believers. If we are true followers of Jesus Christ then we are His saints. No person - saint - alive or dead can answer prayer. God alone answers them. As believers, we have a direct line to the Throne of Almighty God. To have access to the Creator of the universe for help and to ask a dead saint instead is idolatrous. We would be suggesting that God is limited in His ability to help us so He delegates His omniscience and omnipotency to dead believers. Jesus never prayed to a saint. We are to be imitators of Him. We pray to our Father in heaven just as Jesus did. We don't ever pray to dead people. We always pray to the Living God.

Saints or Angels, are higher spirits or Beings. Sometimes one might be around you when you pray for help and do something to help you, unless this higher Being thinks you can help yourself easily. One of these Beings did help me and I actually got to meet and talk with it several times. There will be no doubt if you get to meet one. Anyway, these higher Beings do come around and help out in their own way, that we cannot always understand.

We pray to God, not people. God has the power, not humans

I dont think so... When you pray you pray to Jesus... May not be a bad thing but jesus is probably disappointed that you didnt go to him... He is our father and is here for us

Alwaysbp has given an excellant answere, I will only add John.16:23 Jesus said you will ask Me nothing You are to pray to My Father in My Name and he will give it to you praying to dead saints is only idol worship , scripture says the dead cant hear!...Genaveve

Pray to them for anything..

Better yet Mary or Jesus Christ our lord.
