How else could the saints in Heaven hear our prayers, and intercede with God on our behalf, unless they were still conscious of happenings on Earth and the thoughts of living humans?

Regards,

[Psalm 73]

"How else could the saints in Heaven hear our prayers, and intercede with God on our behalf,"

There is only one who intercedes with the Father, and that is the Son, Jesus Christ.

And is why we don't "pray to the Saints".

[POGO163]

All Christians go to Heaven at the same time. In the Rapture. Jesus is at the right hand of God interceding for us until the Rapture. Jesus was asked twice how we should pray: both times he said: Our Father who art in Heaven. There is no praying to Saints, to Mary or anyone else.

You are welcome to believe you can pray to someone else but you would be ignoring the Scriptures...

Paul called ALL Christians Saints.

“How else could the saints in Heaven hear our prayers, and intercede with God on our behalf,”

They CAN’T! Except in fairly tales.

[daniel1212]

How else could the saints in Heaven hear our prayers, and intercede with God on our behalf, unless they were still conscious of happenings on Earth and the thoughts of living humans?

They may know somewhat of events on earth, even from new arrivals, but they are not the one who knows the hearts and prayers of all, nor are they ever prayed to in Scripture by believers, or in instruction on prayer, despite over 200 prayers which the Holy Spirit recorded.

Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:) (2 Chronicles 6:30)
