Praying to God

When we pray, do we pray to God or Jesus?

The Bible teaches that there are three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit—and yet one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 8:4). This means that if we pray to the Father, we are praying to God. If we pray to Jesus, we are praying to God. If we pray to the Holy Spirit, we are praying to God.

When it comes to our prayer life, we can address God. We can also address specifically the Father, the Son or the Holy Spirit.

What a rich blessing we enjoy with God’s gift of prayer! God speaks to us through his word, and he enables us to speak to him in prayer.
