Jeremiah
44:19 And when we burned incense (or candles) to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her wafers (with I.H.S. on them) to worship her, and pour out drink offerings (wine) unto her, without our men?
44:20 Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him [that] answer, saying,
44:21 The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the "I AM" remember them, and came it [not] into His mind?
44:22 So that the "I AM" could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, [and] because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day (Gibraltar is going the same way).
44:23 Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the "I AM", and have not obeyed the voice of the "I AM", nor walked in His Law, nor in His Statutes, nor in His Covenant; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.
44:24 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the Word of the "I AM", all Judah that [are] in the land of Egypt:
44:25 Thus saith the "I AM" Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense (or candles) to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
44:26 Therefore hear ye the Word of the "I AM", all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by My great name, saith the "I AM", that My name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord "I AM" Liveth.
44:27 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that [are] in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
44:28 Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, Mine, or theirs.
44:29 And this [shall be] a sign unto you, saith the "I AM", that I will punish you in this place (and in Gibraltar like-wise), that ye may know that My words shall surely stand against you for your evil [in worshipping the queen of heaven]:
44:30 Thus saith the "I AM"; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
45:1 The word that Jeremiah the Prophet spoke unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
45:2 Thus saith the "I AM", the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;
45:3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the "I AM" hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
45:4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, The "I AM" saith thus; Behold, [that] which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.

If you pray to Mary you are disobeying and insulting God and because of that He will not answer you and will allow you to punish yourselves and suffer, with-holding His help and Guidance until you stop insulting Him and approach Him in the correct* manner just as Abel did. Cain sought to approach God in the way he decided himself, instead of The Way he had been told by God and so was rejected by God and suffered for the rest of his life. If you approach God directly as He says, in private, instead of in public through Mary, who is definitely not in heaven, He will answer you. JAH

Matthew
6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt NOT be as the hypocrites [ARE]: for they love to pray standing in the churches and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward - they have been seen by men..
6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and WHEN THOU HAST SHUT THY DOOR, pray to thy Father in private (telepathically); and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
6:7 But when ye pray, use NOT vain repetitions, as the heathen [DO]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking (repeating the same tired old phrases over and over every week).
6:8 Be NOT ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of (to be able to do His Will), BEFORE ye ask Him.
6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
6:10 Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will (Islam in Arabic) be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven.
