No, Protestants believe that God hears every prayer, and therefore the intecession of Saints is at best unneccisary; and at worst prayer to saints may be considered a form of idolatry.

Why do some Catholics ask the saints for help?
Saints are believed to be divinely connected with God, like a direct line. So we pray to them to ask them to ask God to help us, or pray to God for us, we believe God can do some miracles, through the saints. For a Catholic, the Saints are very much alive and in heaven, and just as you would ask a friend to pray for you, you can ask the saints to pray for you as well. Catholics use the word "pray" in the traditional sense of the word, whereas most protestants use "pray" to be the same thing as worship. Catholics do NOT worship saints.

How do protestants worship?
Protestants may pray in silence , in groups or outloud. However , they do not like using formula prayers , and they do not pray to Mary or to saints. (The implication above is that people of other faiths - like Catholics - do pray to Mary or to saints. This is not the case and any Catholic who says otherwise is mistaken. Catholics ask Mary or saints for intercession on their behalf, but do not pray TO them. "Holy Mary, Mother of God, PRAY for us sinners..." Catholics only worship and pray TO God our Father and His son Jesus Christ. The best way to explain this to a Protestant is as such: Have you ever asked a family member or loved one to pray for you due to some hardship or difficulty you were going through? Catholics ask Mary to pray for them in much the same way.
