1st Timothy 2:5
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.

Let me explain, Jesus said if you ask anything in my name it will be given to you. When we go to God, we must approach him in Christ Jesus, who was sinless, for God cannot look upon sin, so, we can go boldy to the throne of God if our lives are covered, cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Don't waste your time praying to saints or even to Mary, pray to the One who can help you.

God is one. Jesus is God. There's no need to be cryptic using the words mediator and ransom. God came to teach, not to ransom as in the usual meaning. The word ransom in the passage means consideration given. The consideration given was His efforts out of love, to come here to teach and demonstrate that Jesus, the man, would create the same Spirit as the Father within Him. God also looks upon sin and anything else He sees fit to.

Man was created in the image and likeness of God, body, soul and spirit. God's body, Jesus, did the teaching. "In Jesus" means the teachings, the holdings of God-the Holy Spirit- are internalized and held by you. His body is the "mediator" that conveyed knowledge of Himself - His Spirit. God is one, just as is each man with body, soul and spirit. Folks don't usually refer to their bodies as mediators between their souls and others. Here, it's just to illustrate the nature of man and God.
