When Jesus gave His disciples an example of how to pray, He prayed to the Father. We are also told to pray "in the name" of Jesus. I have my conversations with the Father, mostly, but I do praise and worship Jesus for what He has done for me. I am also always aware of the work of the Holy Spirit and praise Him as well.
I don't think you are wrong to talk to, worship, and praise Jesus, but I wonder why (if you do) you would neglect the Father? My concern is that if there is a reason why you stay away from the idea of approaching the Father, that would be something that you should work on. How can you have faith in Him and trust Him if you fail to approach Him?
Just a thought.

Talking to the one's who made it able for you to live and thrive on this Earth, is not only ok, it is what you were meant to do in the first place. Jesus, God, Holy spirit, the trinity, is the reason why anyone lives. It would be only natural to go to the one that made you spiritually. God made man in his own image, so we all have God within us and we naturally want to go to the one who knows us better than our parents ever could, because HE is the one and only Father to us all. It is like talking to a big brother that is wise and knows just how to comfort you and make you feel better. HE makes us feel safe and loved when everybody shuts the door in your face. Keep praying, praising, and talking to the trinity and you will never be troubled.

you ask if thats ok to worship Jesus?
the thing is it doing anything for you? is it changing your life - a persons personality and character is the proff that they are following the right religion - this is the thing you should be looking at - unfornutely for me - many time i have gave up on christianity due to the fact many christians are hypocrites and i did not see any thing in their life that modivated me to be a christian - they can smile and say hi to you - that pretty much it - many people have just a religion that make them feel good thats it.......but the fact is i am going die one day that is fact that no situation will change - so i stopped making excuses and started to practice being a christian - but i am ashamed to call myself one due to many christians being hypocrites...

Well I think alot of it depends on where you are at. I tend to talk directly to JC more because he is our intercessor. I also never had a good Father / Son relationship in the natural so I have a hard time relating to God the Father (I actually speak to the Spirit more than the Father) occasionally I feel the need of a Father though and then it is usually very sweet.

it's ok in my book, I believe in the trinity, when you talk to Jesus or God, it's one in the same. Father, Son, Holy Spirit.1+1+1=1

I have always held the belief that Jesus wanted us to be more like him and address the father. Jesus did give his life but it was so that we could be closer to the Father and I believe that he would be very grateful to see us praying to the Father rather then him because of that.

I'm not a Christian but I can't help but wonder how you talk to Jesus. I wish Christians would elaborate on that point and show us non-believers exactly how this is accomplished.

Whatever words come from your mouth and heart are fine! Heavenly Father, God, Jesus , Father God- you can't and won't go wrong! Pray , pray , pray.
"No one can come to the Father but through me" is one line of thought.Catholics believe you can pray to Mary for her to talk to her son for you- many different thoughts.
