What’s wrong with consecrating your heart right to Jesus Himself and praying directly to the Father in Jesus’ name as we are commanded and taught to do by Jesus?
Don’t you think He’s going to hear and answer Himself?

We do that, too. He will certainly hear. He can answer yes or no (or "not yet"). He might be more inclined to answer "yes" if I have the humility to ask someone else to pray for me, since "where two or three come together in my name, there I am with them" (Matthew 18:20), and we should "pray for each other" because "the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:16). Why would Scripture have us ask others to pray for us if we have 100% certainty of having our own prayers answered affirmatively?
