Well, you don't know that specifically for each prayer; that is always the case that not every prayer is answered:

You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss(James 4:3)

You do know, however, that all saints are seeing us and praying for us:

And therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses over our head, laying aside every weight and sin which surrounds us, let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us: Looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who having joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1-2)

another angel came, and stood before the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer of the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar, which is before the throne of God. And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended up before God from the hand of the angel. (Apocalypse/Revelation 8:3-4)

I don’t see any specific saint called out for veneration in those quotes, hoss. And be very specific where any of the books of the New Testament call for us to specifically venerate Mary. Love to be shown this.

I guess I can scratch off that hope of SLEEPING IN THE GRAVE until that trumpet sounds...
