Protestant Christians: Is this prayer acceptable?
We humbly beseech You, O Lord:
that as You chose Your blessed Apostle Andrew to be a
teacher and bishop in Your Church;
so he may continually intercede for us in the sight of
Your divine majesty, through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord;
who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit: one God, now and forever. Amen
This is a Lutheran prayer used on the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle November 30th.

There is a book called "divine revelation of Heaven" - Mary Baxter.
In that book, in heaven, there is a room with a giant door in the shape of a vault.
All the prayers go through that vault door. And only praise makes it through.
Now I'm not saying Mary Baxter is true. I'm just saying God gives prayers to us to pray to God.. hopefully it is acceptable.
Oh I see, you are asking if Andrew is needed when Jesus Interceeds for us as High Priest (Book of Hebrews), sure anyone can pray and we are all branches in Jesus.? yes with reason :)

It is witchcraft. No, Jesus is our one and only mediator or intercessor to God. We are to pray from our own hearts; not something someone just made up. That is not prayer or praying. it is merely repeating something same as a poem. God is not mocked. This is mockery. It is not worship to God. They believe in trinity, which is the unclean spirits coming out of the mouth of this beast church.

I think it is taking away from the Holy Spirit who intercedes for us.
Romans 8:26
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

Islamic Articles > Oneness of God
Allah is The Only Creator of Life

The evidence that Allah is the only Creator of life may be found in many places in the Qur’an and Sunnah. For example:
"Blessed Is He In Whose Hand Is The Dominion, And He Is Able To Do All Things, Who Has Created Death And Life, That He May Test You Which Of You Is Best In Deed, And He Is The All-Mighty, The Oft-Forgiving." [al-Mulk 67:1-2]
"Is, Then, He Who Creates As One Who Creates Not?" [al-Nahl 16:17]
"Yet They Have Taken Besides Him Other Gods That Created Nothing But Are Themselves Created..." [al-Furqaan 25:3]
Allah challenged all of mankind to create even the most insignificant creature, i.e. a fly, but no one could do that and no one ever will. Allah says:
"O Mankind! A Similitude Has Been Coined, So Listen To It (Carefully): Verily! Those On Whom You Call Besides Allah Cannot Create (Even) A Fly, Even Though They Combine Together For The Purpose. And If The Fly Snatched Away A Thing From Them, They Would Have No Power To Release It From The Fly. So Weak Are (Both) The Seeker And The Sought." [al-Hajj 22:73]
Imam al-Bukhari reported in his Saheeh from Abu Sa‘eed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allah be upon Him) said: "There Is No Created Being But Allah Created It." In Arabic, the word "khalaqa" means to make out of nothing, which is something that only Allah can do; it is impossible for anyone except Allah to do this. It also carries the meaning of decreeing or foreordaining. [See Fath al-Bari Sharh Saheeh al-Bukhari, 13/390]
The Religion of Allah (Islam) is proud and cannot be defeated by the disbeliever’s arrogance about the knowledge they possess. Allah says:
"...(They) Are Deceived By The Life Of This World..." [al-An‘aam 6:70]
"They Know Only The Outside Appearance Of The Life Of This World, And They Are Heedless Of The Hereafter." [al-Rum 30:7]
We ask Allah to help us to be steadfast in our adherence to His Religion, and to make our end good. And Allah knows best.
Pray to Allah,Elohim,God,Dieu,Dius,Buh,Gott etc. by whatever name you know Him.
Pray to your Creator, the Creator of the Universe and everything in it and in-between with sincerity ask Him to Guide You In Your Heart and in Your Mind to The Religion Of Truth and to make you pleased with it and you will find if you are sincere
He will answer your Prayer and you will find the religion of truth enters your heart.
So don’t trust me—trust Our Creator. Read the Quran, read books and study good websites. But whatever you do, get started, take it seriously, and Pray For Our Creator To Guide You.
Your Life May Not Depend On It, But Your Soul Most Definitely Does.
