This is my first post and attempt at this forum stuff... I start with a question... Who do we pray to and relate to? God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit?
The following is a prayer by St Symeon the New Theologian to the Holy Spirit.Allen2 said:In Scripture, prayers are ordinarily made to our Heavenly Father(Col.3,11;Eph.1:15-17), in the name of the Lord Jesus(Eph.5:20). The Spirit prompts and directs our prayer and is also included in benedictions(Mtt.28:19). I am not aware of any prayers to the Spirit: He seems to be the "shy member" of the Trinity who directs our attention to the Father and draws us to faith in Christ. God bless, Al
