That's interesting. I very between God, Lord, and Father.Most often, I address my prayers to God, without naming any one of the Persons in particular.
I address God, not as a literal person, but the truth that underlies all that is.Do you say/think: “Our Father, please …” or
“Oh, Jesus, please …” or
Something else.
I’m not referring to “In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,”
Or “In the name of Jesus,” but comments are fine.
Wow, I didn't expect that.I address God, not as a literal person, but the truth that underlies all that is.
So something like this:
"Absolute, that which is all this and that which isn't anything in particular, the truth of all, and the essence of this present experience..."
Or,
"That in which all this exists, yet is no-thing among the existent, and that which all owe their being..."
I pray to The Father when I’m making requests and giving thanks but I do also give thanks to Christ for His sacrifice and to the Holy Spirit for His guidance, and I always end each prayer by saying “I love you Father, I love you Jesus, and I love you Holy Spirit, in Jesus name I pray, amen.”Do you say/think: “Our Father, please …” or
“Oh, Jesus, please …” or
Something else.

To many people grumble and complain and call that prayer. God wants faith and an attitude of gratitude, praise and thanksgiving. WE read our Bible and pray to know the will of God so we can know what prayers God wants to answer. He gives us the desire and the delight of our heart when we align our heart with His Heart. We are to worship and give praise, honor and glory onto God. All the more when we are united together as one with our brothers and sisters in the Lord.Do you say/think: “Our Father, please …” or
Sometimes I say/think one or the other ... it don't matter they are both God.Do you say/think: “Our Father, please …” or
“Oh, Jesus, please …” or
Something else.

Heb 4:16
"Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
In the Bible, the attitude of the heart is indeed emphasized as crucial in our relationship with God and in prayer:
Aligning our hearts with God's will, seeking His guidance through Scripture, and approaching Him with gratitude and faith are indeed key aspects of a fruitful spiritual life.
- Prayer as Incense: In Revelation 5:8, it says, "Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." This imagery illustrates that sincere prayers, offered with faith and gratitude, are pleasing to God.
- Heart Attitude: Psalm 51:17 says, "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." This highlights the importance of humility and genuine repentance.
- Faith and Thanksgiving: Philippians 4:6 encourages us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." This underscores the need for gratitude and trust.
- Unity in Worship: Hebrews 10:24-25 advises us to "consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." This emphasizes the importance of communal worship and mutual encouragement.
Jesus said when praying out loud to the Father that He did for the benefit of those listening.Do you say/think: “Our Father, please …” or
