You guys dont know what prayer is do you?It doesn't mean they were praying to the saints, just like it doesn't mean people were praying to Samuel. ? ?
Prayer is nothing more than communication with God. Jesus didn't pray to God to get things, he prayed to God in conversation. So do I. I hear Him and He hears me just as He heard Jesus when Jesus spoke to Him and Jesus heard God when He spoke to him. I am no different from the same.
You guys are supposed to have that same communication instead of making demands that you call prayer.
