Amen, Amen, and Amen.
I would have to agree, Unless I have mist reading it growing up, I just
in my opinion have I never heard about praying to someone else for
guidance/help.

Ok... You want my two cents?

Phil sent an article here about a week or so ago.  All we need is the
name 
of Jesus!  I pray to Him and Him only because He is the only one that 
interceeds on my behalf... right now he is praying with and for us at
the 
right hand of His father.  I do believe in Intercessory prayer... I know
it 
works first-hand.  But Jesus is the Great Intercesser.  I can't locate
the 
passage right now and it's bugging me... but there is a scripture that 
states **paraphrased** that He is at the right hand of His father 
Interceeding on our behalves.  If we pray in anyone's name but Jesus... 
doesn't that also mean we are praying to them?  There is only one name
by 
which man can be saved... the Name of Jesus!  There is only one
meadiator 
between God and Man... the man Christ Jesus!
