Jesus says, "No human comes to the Father, except by me: I and Father are one." John 14:6+ 10:30. |

"And we know that the Son of God is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true: and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ, this is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols." I John 5:20,21. |

"Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God. Let us therefore come boldly up to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in time of need. He also on account of his remaining, to him whom steps no one matches, always has the holyhood. Seeing he ever lives to make intercession for us." Hebrews 4:14,16+ 7:24,25. |

I pray to Jesus because he is God. I address God as Father sometimes too. Let's not forget that Jesus is "I AM". Sometimes I say Jehovah or Messiah or My Beloved. What matters when you pray is the condition of your spirit. Don't get all tangled up in word play- that's what the pharisees did. |

I pray to God the Father, in the Name of Jesus the son. However, I do not believe that there is any exact way to pray, God looks on the heart and can answer before we even call. |

Through Jesus we pray.
He is the only way to God the Father..the Eternal Father the Spirit is God.
All 3 are one with the Father.
Lord God and Lord Jesus and God the Holy Spirit. |

Jesus said pray in this manner "Our Father" and "any thing you ask the Father in My Name"..... But I talk to Jesus too.. |

Before Jesus chose His disciples, He spent a whole night on the mountaintop to pray. Did He pray to Himself? No, He prayed to the Father. During His entire ministry, teaching the Kingdom of God (not the Kingdom of Jesus), He prayed to God the Father, even on the cross. Jesus even gave us an example, "Our Father..." not "Our Jesus." Jesus is only our mediator. We pray only to the Father (Matthew 5:5-6). |

I pray to God in Jesus' name. Many times in the New Testament this is how we are told to pray. Jesus himself tells us to in several of his sermons. Including the one ON prayer. I think it is in Matthew 5-6. |

This question troubled me for years. Then the answer came very simple as I reviewed the Bible. And Jesus taught us how to pray saying, "Our Father Who Art In Heaven" and then Jesus taught us to close using His name, "In Jesus Name We Pray,". For as we know we are unworthy to come to the Father because as states in Romans We are all sinners and fall short of the Glory of God. Good Question. |

pt.1: Jesus is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, the Judge of all the earth. Jesus is YHWH, Siloah, the I am. Jesus is my Lord and my God, he alone is the only real and living Lord God, the Creator of all, of those in heaven and those in earth and those under the earth. Jesus is the Most High God, the First and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and Ending, which from being, and which to being, and which coming, the Almighty. |

pt 2: Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords, his Kingdom is from everlasting to everlasting, he alone is God. He is my living Rock and my fortress, my protector, my defender, my strong arm. He is the Chief Cornerstone, my anointing, my Messiah. He is my salvation, my sanctification, my baptism, my resurrection, my life, my Passover. |
|
---Eloy on 11/23/07 |
pt 3: Jesus is my Maker, my potter, my refiner. He is my glory, my light, my power, my grace, my forgiveness. He is my truth, my guide, my Mediator, my promise. He is my Shepherd, my living water, my bread of life, the sustainer and lover of my soul. He is the lifter up of mine head, my Counsellor, my Redeemer, my Immanuel. |
|
---Eloy on 11/23/07 |
pt 4: Jesus is sinless, perfect, above reproach, and ultimately in complete control over all his creation. Jesus is my Word, my heavenly tongues, my praise. Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! wonderful God my Lord, glory to the Lord! Thank you Jesus! He is my rest, my Sabbath, my peace. He is my Zion, my New Jerusalem, my sanctuary, my heaven, my paradise, my garden of delight. |

pt 5: Jesus is the lily among thorns. He is the chiefest among ten thousand. His countenance as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. He calms the raging seas and wind and walks upon the water. He makes the blind to see, the cripple walk, the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak, and the dead to rise again. This is my beloved, and this is my friend. Jesus is my song, my worship, my prayer, my Amen. He is my all and all. |

Jesus is the Father. For to us a child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulder: and his name will be called, Wonderful, Counselor, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6. |

PLEASE READ MY BLOG RESPONSE TO THE QUES: "Why pray to the Trinity"
Colossians 3:17 This understanding will end all confusion.
JESUS in Your holy name I pray that all of Your people will obey Your prayer of John 17 and all become One...one in understanding, truth, Spirit, power, and love: as You worked through your apostles/disciples in the book of Acts. In Jesus name. AMEN. |

1)I have the strong conviction that Jesus, as a prophet and a SON of Yahweh, brought to us the stupendous revelation that God was 'OUR' Father, this revelation wasn't totally ignored in the OT, but never as clear as Jesus revealed it to us.
From that of a God whose name was so sacred, which the Jews didn't dare to pronounce, to that of a familiar and informal ABBA, which is almost like "dad, papa." This tells us a lot about who God is for us. |

2) Jesus, as he said
"Abba, Father, all things are possible for you" (Mark 14:36).
Jesus is recognizing his SUBMISSION and DEPENDENCE on God. It seems clear that this prayer is not a dialog between a God and God, FOR THERE CAN ONLY BE 1GOD.
"I ALWAY DO THOSE THINGS THAT PLEASES HIM(God)" Jn 8:29.
This short sentence tells us the meaning of Jesus' life and of his dedication to the Father. Jesus as the promoter of ONE TRUE GOD,not of HIMSELF Jn 5.41, 7.18, 8.50. |

LISA:
Even the glorified Jesus IS DEVOTED and SUBJECT to the Father, as Paul recognizes in 1 Cor15:28.
'He is NOT FOR HIS OWN glory, [AS A GOD], BUT FOR THE glory OF HIS FATHER.'
WHO'S DOES JESUS WANT TO GLORIFY, Lisa?
how then is JESUS SUBJECT to GOD, IF HE IS GOD?
The Head of Christ IS God (1 Cor. 11:3). the Supreme God is the One Whom Paul terms the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph.1:3,1:17), Whom Christ Himself terms the only true God (Jn 17:3). |

Concerning prayer, here is a statement for your judgment." A prayer that reaches the Father must be carried by the Son." Understanding this statement explains how the following statement is made true.""And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." Question does our prayer need agreement with the Son in order for its fulfillment to be certain? |
|

I address the father in Jesus' name. Prayer is communication. Jesus explained that he was in the father and the father was in him. John 14:13"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
We can pray either way and lets not forget communication with the Holy Spirit. Outside of Jesus there is no connection to the father. |

I do as Jesus gave as an example. I pray to the Father. I use the word Lord often in praying as I believe that Jesus is at the Father's right hand hearing our prayers. The name of Jesus has power. But, the Father is the almighty one and only true God. |

Jesus said, "If you ask the Father anything in my name, He will do it for you."
Ask Father God in Jesus name. |

It depends: Let me explain. Sometimes, for example in just conversation it may be, I only say Jesus. But sometimes, I say my heavenly Father or just Father, Holy Father is good too. and in the name of Jesus, sometimes in beginning always at the end. . Now when I am formerly addressing God for example, in church or thanking Him for His food, it is always my heavenly Father. sometimes through-out the day the same. I never say God when praying. Unless it is God have mercy on all of us, ect. |
