My take, for what it is worth: God understands what the people who do this intend, though being hurt that they don’t yet give Him enough credit to personally receive their prayers. And He still blesses to an extent. But He really wants people to know that they can rely DIRECTLY upon Him. You don’t have to cringe and ask the “Queen.” Ask the King!
.....” rely DIRECTLY upon Him. You don’t have to cringe and ask the “Queen.” Ask the King!”....
Might be they fear the King?.. Going to a female is easier, especially the one they present as mary who is always benevolent and never judges their sin. The idea that God is merciful but also just doesn’t equate very well for some.
But there cannot be mercy without justice.
