Do You Pray To God Or Jesus
Camila Farah
Pray to the father close in jesus name.
And frankly i am going to argue that is a great tradition. Thank you for your question about prayer. However we are also commanded to pray in the spirit praying in the spirit was a command given to all believers. I am a christian however when i pray i pray to god not jesus.
Here s the short answer. Although god jesus and the holy spirit are one they do play different roles in our prayer life. We see examples of the early church praying to jesus. We also should pray in the name of the son as jesus also taught in john 16 23 24.
Perhaps the best way to understand the role of the trinity in prayer is that we pray to the father through or in the name of the son by the power of the holy spirit. Jesus also said to pray in his name. Jesus prayed to god the father and taught us to do the same. Jesus tells us in john 14 14 and i will do whatever you ask in my name so that the father may be glorified in the son.

I think children should grow up with that form as the main form of their prayer. Do you pray to jesus or god. Again the answer is yes we pray directly to god the father because that is what jesus taught us to do and yes we pray through jesus because he is our high priest who has given us direct access to god the father by his sacrifice and he is now interceding on our behalf before the father. Writing to fellow christians he said.
It is important to make the distinction between prayer addressed to god the father and prayer having access to the father. If we follow the pattern set forth in scripture we should pray to the father as jesus taught us both in matthew 6 and as he taught by example in his prayers. This was the pattern the apostle paul gives us in ephesians 3. In fact many of paul s prayers are addressed to jesus.
Im confused however when people say they have a relationship with jesus pray to jesus etc. That is a liturgy that we just learned. When we pray we re actually talking to god the father god the son jesus and god the holy spirit because they re all one god. Pray to god the father in the power of god the spirit in the name or by the authority and the merit of god the son.

So let me explain what that actually means. Years later the apostle paul described the manner in which he and his associates prayed. We can also pray to jesus our lord and savior. Pray to god the father by the name of jesus in the power of the holy spirit.Source : pinterest.com
