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

No one "mediates" between God and man except Jesus Christ.

"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him." -- Matthew 6:7-8

You offer Matthew 6:7-8 which only says that the Father knows before you ask. If you read this verse as saying someting against mediation you have to conclude that it speaks against mediation of Jesus Christ as well.
