Praying FOR someone is not praying TO someone.

I pray TO God FOR others.

I do not pray TO others instead of praying TO God.

So go ahead, show me some verse that shows that we are to pray TO others, someone other than God.

And this conversation ended up right where I thought it would. Non-Catholic Americans think pray means worshiping God. Non-American English speakers, whether Catholic or not, think pray means either worshiping God OR to ask someone for something. Catholics do not pray in the sense of worshiping saints, rather they pray (as in ask) saints to pray (as in worship) to God on their behalf (AKA intercessory prayer).
