There is nothing that says to turn over our prayer requests to Saints or to Mary because they have greater stature. My prayer stands or falls based on whether I am a believer and whether I am praying in God's will. Are you really saying that there are prayers that you have, but since you think God won't grant YOU a favorable answer you turn the prayer over to a Saint and then you will get a favorable answer? Does God really fall for this? :)
This has nothing to do with stature and everything to do with Holy Scripture telling us in Revelation that the prayers for the saints intercede for us in the final judgement.

But as I understand it, as a practical matter you all pray for intercession on an everyday basis for all things down to the minutia. This does not appear to be what you are describing.
