Do you repent after you pray for someone, because in doing so you mediating on their behalf to God, in violation of this verse?

Am I to assume that you don't have your family and friends pray for you? Are they not acting the part of mediators? Or are they committing grave errors by praying for you?

1 Timothy 2:5 It is amusing how this verse is cited as sayiong something against the veneration of saints, when the entire passage calls for intercessory prayer:
1 I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men: 2 For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus:
