She is being painted as having some kind of super clout under the gospel, to the point that getting her prayers are worth getting uncounted prayers of mortals on earth.
This practically begs for the question to be asked, since she isn’t (as God is) omniscient or omnipresent, does she max out trying to serve all these requests at some point?
As Paul says, the dead in Christ presently sleep, so perhaps she sleep walks?

I don’t want to argue, hoping I can change your belief. Everything is because of God. It’s His Will and action that allows Mary and the saints to hear our prayers.
There are many OT and Gospel references to God desiring our prayers and the prayers of the saint’s in Heaven.
We are one big family.
Here are a few:
Matt. 5:44-45 - Jesus tells us to pray for (to mediate on behalf of) those who persecute us. God instructs us to mediate.
Matt. 17:1-3; Mark 9:4; Luke 9:30-31 – deceased Moses and Elijah appear at the Transfiguration to converse with Jesus in the presence of Peter, James and John (these may be the two “witnesses” John refers to in Rev. 11:3). Nothing in Scripture ever suggests that God abhors or cuts off communication between the living in heaven and the living on earth. To the contrary, God encourages communication within the communion of saints. Moses and Elijah’s appearance on earth also teach us that the saints in heaven have capabilities that far surpass our limitations on earth.
