Jesus chose the indirect line to come to us, His mother. His very first miracle was performed because he listened to His mother who in turn told the servants to listen to Jesus. So, yes, I do go to Mary sometimes for prayer knowing that her Son listens to her. I never have to pray alone, I have the benefit of thousands of prayers from saints who came before me, who followed the Word of God and are now in the presence of God.

I only know how to pray in my human way, I have not beheld the Face of God. I ask in my childlike way while looking in the mirror dimly and I know that Jesus will not ignore me but the saints see God and their prayers only add to mine.

Have you ever tried to have a personal walk with Jesus?

Why must your voice always be a minor one amongst many others?

Then you do not read Scripture, and/or you do not listen to what Jesus instructed.

If the Bible is an arrow pointing to Christ, and salvation through Him alone “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life..” then where in the OT, or New does it tell one to pray to Mary?

This is rhetorical as: NOWHERE. In fact the Bible only points to Jesus in all it’s writings.

Sorry, Jesus came directly to man kind. He did not choose His mother to be the line to Him. HE is the direct line to the Father. I think He makes that perfectly clear in scripture that only through HIM do you see the Father. Nothing about Mary there.
