   • 1. Prayer is ordinarily directed to the Father. Jesus teaches us to pray to the Father When his disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, this is how he instructed them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father…’” (Luke 11:1-2).

   Should we pray to Jesus because he is not almighty God?

   • When the Jehovah’s Witness says that we should not pray to Jesus because he is not Almighty God, we can counter that we pray to Jesus because He is Almighty God, and thus One who expects and accepts expressions of worship. Although it is commonly called the Lord’s Prayer, we must keep in mind that Jesus did not offer these words on His own behalf.

   Should prayer be directed to Jesus?

   • Prayer should also be directed to the Son. Yet, the New Testament does not prohibit prayer from being directed to Jesus (or the Spirit). In fact, there are many examples of people praying directly to Jesus. As Stephen is being killed in the book of Acts, he prays, “ Lord Jesus, receive my spirit ” (Acts 7:59).

   What does the Bible say about prayer?

   • The Bible allows for prayer to one or all three, because all three are one. To the Father we pray with the psalmist, “Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray” (Psalm 5:2). To the Lord Jesus, we pray as to the Father because they are equal. Prayer to one member of the Trinity is prayer to all.

   Dec 18, 2012 · Many Christians pray to Jesus. But are they right to do so? It’s certainly a good question. I believe there are at least two sound reasons to pray to Jesus—-one theological and one scriptural. The theological reason is that prayer is talking to God.

   Once while doing a weekend seminar on the cults, I took a few students on a field trip to a Kingdom Hall. That Sunday morning, a Jehovah’s Witness leader gave the Bible lesson on prayer. One of his major points was that “Jehovah has not delegated prayer to the angels or to Jesus. Jehovah has reserved prayer only for himself.” After the service, I a...

   Does the fact that this model prayer addresses the Father and not the Son mean that we are never to address the Son (or the Spirit) in prayer? No. By giving us a model prayer, Jesus did not limit our prayers to a certain structure or verbiage. Otherwise, we would need to eliminate using the words “in Jesus’ name,” since they do not appear in the Lo...

   Some might say that prayers of praise to Jesus are legitimate while prayers of petition are not. I will argue that Jesusaccepted and still accepts both kinds of prayer. Take note of both in the examples shown below.

   Because Jesus is so interested in having a personal relationship with each of us, we as Christians would make a serious mistake to feel as though we shouldn’t address the Son (and even the Spirit) in prayer. A personal relationship with Jesus naturally involves communing with Him, expressing commitment to Him, expressing one’s dependence on Him, as...

   • Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Hebrews 4:14-16 etc. When we come to the Father, Jesus the Son is our advocate and great High Priest. Jesus, together with the Holy Spirit, provides us access to the Father and to the throne of grace (Romans 8:26-27,34, 1John 2:1, Hebrews 4:14-16).

   It seems clear that even as the Old Testament believers called upon God, we today can call upon Jesus, and that means we can pray to him and expect him to answer our requests. Calling upon Jesus, our Lord, also occurs in Romans 10:12-14 and 2 Timothy 2:22.
