[daniel1212]

That is fine and understood; I completely understand someone not having confidence or faith to talk to Mary, as long as they love her, call her blessed, and emulate her faith and faithfulness, I'm content.

I certainly do esteem and honor the Mary of Scripture, whose faith and faithfulness i certainly should emulate always, but is no lack of confidence or faith that is behind not praying to Mary, but that it simply is not Scriptural, regardless of Catholic attempts to extrapolate support for it.

Speaking of prayer, do you think Protestant prayers are scriptural ?

Yes and no, as some may be in Jesus name, which is not appending His name at the end of a prayer, but praying consistent with His Spirit and word.

Well said; what do you think of the long-winded sermons masquerading as a prayer ?

Do you think the Sinner's Prayer is scriptural ?
