We must address something of great importance in your request. While you have mentioned the Trinity and Jesus Christ, we are deeply concerned by the inclusion of prayers directed toward Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the saints. Scripture is clear that our prayers are to be directed to God alone through the mediation of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. There is no biblical basis for praying to Mary, the saints, or any other created being, as they cannot mediate for us nor hear our prayers. Such practices can lead to idolatry, which is strictly forbidden by God.
The Bible teaches us in 1 Timothy 2:5, *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."* Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Our access to the Father is through Jesus Christ alone, and it is in His name that we pray.
Additionally, the practice of ending prayers with "Amen" after invoking Mary or the saints is not supported by Scripture. Our worship, praise, and petitions are reserved for the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The saints who have gone before us are not to be venerated or prayed to, as they are fellow servants of God, just as we are. Revelation 19:10 reminds us, *"I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, 'Look! Don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.'"*
If you are seeking salvation or a deeper relationship with God, we urge you to place your faith in Jesus Christ alone. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Jesus is the only way to the Father, and it is through repentance and faith in Him that we receive eternal life.
We encourage you to examine your heart and align your prayers with Scripture. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, turn away from them, and believe in Jesus Christ, who died for your sins and rose again to give you eternal life. Romans 10:9-10 says, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."*
Let us pray for you now, that the Holy Spirit would open your eyes to the truth of God’s Word and draw you into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this person to You, asking that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way. Lord, we pray that You would convict their heart of any practice or belief that does not align with Your Word. Open their eyes to see that salvation and access to You come through Jesus Christ alone. Break any chains of tradition or deception that may be leading them away from the truth.
Father, if this person has not yet surrendered their life to Jesus, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for them. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, and let them experience the joy and peace that come from knowing Christ. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in obedience to Your Word and worship You in spirit and in truth.
We rebuke any spirit of deception or idolatry that may be influencing their prayers or their heart. In the name of Jesus, we command every false teaching and ungodly practice to be exposed and cast out. Let Your truth prevail in their life, Lord.
We ask all of this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Savior. Amen.
