Bible Question: Hello! I just need a little clarification on Whom I should pray to. Should I be praying to God or Jesus? Whenever you pray for something, you should always close with "In Jesus name I pray." Seems to me like you would be praying to God then. I'm a little confused, so should I just address my petitions to God and Jesus? Thank you in advance for your responses! |
Bible Answer: Greetings, jesus1km I have questioned that myself, and here is how one pastor explained it to me: You can consider your prayer, like a request made to God (with thanksgiving) as a check that you want to cash at the bank. You cannot cash a check that is not signed at the bottom, so we are to add the name of Jesus to our prayer. Now, who do we pray to? Well, the same person that Jesus prayed to, you can turn to John 17 for Jesus' high priestly prayer to see who He prayed to. As you pray in the spirit, for God is Spirit, we pray to our heavenly Father, in the name of His Son, thereby involving all three members of the Trinity. This, at least is how I understand it, and my best answer to your question. In His service and yours, Tim |
