Why do you pray to Jesus instead of God?
Originally Answered: Why do people worship Jesus as God, when he says this, Luke 18:18-23? We worship Jesus as God because Jesus was God in flesh. God was on the inside of Him giving life to His flesh so flesh and Spirit was One! He had the qualities of man and the qualities of God.
Is it okay to pray the same prayer everyday?

What does the Bible say about praying in the Holy Spirit?

The truth is revealed in the Scriptures so the Holy Spirit will help us understand God’s teaching in the Bible.
How does the Holy Spirit help us in prayer?
Here are three things He does for us in His intercession to help us in prayer: (1) He makes our prayers acceptable to God. As Jesus is interceding for us in heaven to maintain our redemption, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us on earth to make our prayers acceptable according to that redemption.
Should we pray to the father or Jesus?
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. Stephen, as he was being martyred, prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit” (Acts 7:59). We are also to pray in the name of Christ.
Should we pray to the Saints?
Sometimes Protestants object to the Church’s devotion to saints because they misconstrue praying “to the saints” to mean diminishing the role of Jesus. While we may say, “Pray to the saints,” we actually mean asking them to intercede for us– to pray with us and for us– to our Lord, who bestows all graces.
