So we ask Mary, Christ's mother and our fellow Christian to pray to her Son for us.

Why would you do this (ask a dead christian who is in heaven)if you are indwelt by the Powerful Holy Ghost who is God and you are washed by the blood of Jesus which makes you authorized (worthy) to enter boldly into the thrown room of God the Father Himself and you make intercession for the people around and in your life. We as christians are already seated with God the Father in the Heavenlies. God is not a respecter of persons (Christians) dead or alive, so were does this hierarchy of some ones prayers being of more influence than others come from ????

Do you ever ask anyone to pray for you? Or do you believe it is sinful to ask another person to pray for you?

This is the deeper question - what is your belief on that point?
