Scripture indicates, those in heaven are aware of the prayers of those on earth. This can be seen, for example, in Revelation 5:8, where John depicts the saints in heaven offering our prayers to God under the form of "golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." But if the saints in heaven are offering our prayers to God, then they must be aware of our prayers. They are aware of our petitions and present them to God by interceding for us.

My friend, I believe you are reading into this passage something that it does not say. They may be aware that their act is offering prayers, but nowhere does it indicate they even know what the specific prayers are about. Your final statement goes beyond reading into it to adding to it. Nowhere does this passage indicate that the saints are interceding for us.

wishing you the best, ampu
