Whether or not your friends in heaven can pray for you is a matter of faith. There is no definitive answer in the Bible, but there are some passages that suggest it is possible.
One passage is Revelation 5:8, which says, "And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." This suggests that the prayers of the saints in heaven are offered to God.
Another passage is Revelation 8:3-4, which says, "And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to add to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne, and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel." This passage again suggests that the prayers of the saints in heaven are offered to God and that God hears them.
However, some Christians believe that the prayers of the saints in heaven are not necessary because we can pray directly to God. They point to the passage in Matthew 6:9-13, where Jesus teaches his disciples to pray the Lord's Prayer. In this prayer, Jesus tells his disciples to pray directly to God, not to any saints or angels.
Ultimately, whether or not you believe that your friends in heaven can pray for you is a matter of personal faith. There is no right or wrong answer.
If you do believe that your friends in heaven can pray for you, there is nothing wrong with asking them to do so. You can pray to them directly, or you can simply ask God to tell them about your needs and to have them pray for you.
It is important to remember that God is the one who answers prayers, not the saints in heaven. The saints in heaven may be able to intercede for us, but God is the one who ultimately decides whether or not to answer our prayers.
