Stay away from the near occasion to sin
I believe if God can tell a flower where and how to grow and the wind which way to blow .He surely knows the difference between who is the Bless-er (cause) and who is the blessed (effect) Mary cannot cause anything to happen that God has not already determined will happen . The clay He is shaping has no power/authority over Him who is executing His will exactly as He has so desired it to be .
So is it a waste of time to pray for someone? Don't you believe that God answers prayers? Or do you think He just does what He's decided, and if it coincides with our prayers, so much the better?
Remember Jesus' parable and lesson?
5 And he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say to him, "Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 for a friend of mine has arrived, and I have nothing to set before him.' 7 And he answers from within, "Do not bother me; the door has already been locked, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.' 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, at least because of his persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs. 9 "So I say to you, Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
