It is an interesting concept that God is too busy or too disinterested to listen to requests made direct to him by the faithful, but that he always has time to listen to the same request passed on by an intercessor.
Roman Catholics and, to a lesser extent, members of some other Christian denominations believe that saints intercede by taking their requests to God. Mary is seen by Roman Catholics as the most useful saint for intercession.

Saints are important because they make excellent roll models for us to emulate. They are also great intercessors for us before God. Here on earth, few of us really know how to pray for special favors. Saints, on the other hand, are experts at prayer and can help us to receive those requests that we might have to God. They are great allies.

Is it bad when you feel like you're using God because you're always asking for something?
Well, it really should be a 2-way street.God is asking some things from you; mainly OBEDIENCE.Should God feel like he's using you, by always asking obedience from you?Therefore if you're giving God what he requires; then you shouldn't feel bad; unless you're asking for 'selfish-type' things.If you are feeling bad, like you're using God; it's probably a bad conscience; so you might want to fix something in your relationship with God.Jesus told us some things to 'ask from God'.Thy Kingdom come.Thy will be done on earth.Hallowed by thy name.Please forgive us our sins.Please help us resist temptation.Please allow us to have our bread for today.These are not selfish-type requests. We should not feel bad about such requests. These type requests show that we're not just interested in 'self / self / self'. These type requests show that we're concerned about God; his holy name, and his Kingdom by his Son.So I guess the answer to the question is: It all depends on the above information and probably other related things.
Why did Abraham intercedes for sodom?
Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that Abraham desperately wanted to know whether the divine justice resembles the human notion of justice. Is God's justice, seen from the human viewpoint, arbitrary or capricious? It seems that the story was a parable in historical form, to tell us whether God punishes the righteous along with the wicked.

i don't know about 'divine' revelation, but during the taking of bread and wine God reveals to you how much of a sacrifice Jesus made for us, and makes us think about what we can give to God if he's given us the greatest sacrifice of his son. :)
