I know that the only way to God is through Jesus...so when I pray , do I pray to Jesus and ask him to talk to God for me? Or do I pray to both and whom do I start first? This is a real question...so anymean questions please not answer.

You know I wonder if this question is a joke. However, you are right that the only way to God is through Jesus. But when you pray, pray in Jesus name. You don't have to pray to Jesus just to Get to God. You can pray to either and the Holy Spirit! You have to ACCEPT Jesus to get to God. That is what ' you have to go through Jesus to get to God' really means! Honey keep on praying no matter what distractions or obstacles come after you! God Bless

You start off by praying to our Lord God, you talk to Him, you ask for guidance, for truth, for His love. After said what you want to to God you acknowledge His Son Jesus, that He came to earth as a man and died for our sins. When you want to end your prayer you tell God you are doing this in the name of His Son Jesus Christ. Amen

Prayer to God is communication with him. You do not need thees and thous. You do not need to do anything in a certain order. You don't even need to say "Dear Jesus" at the beginning or "Amen" at the end. Just talk to God as if you were talking to your father, or to a friend.

you can pray what you like to talk, and the end is "by Jesus`s name".
I think that It is OK pray to both, any the other one is the holy spirit.
usually said that:
God create the world ,and Jesus save our sin ,and after Jesus went to heaven the Holy spirit to the world among us, so we can pray them in our need.
you can go to the church.praying everywhere.

You pray to the Father, and ask through Jesus Christ. Like for instance,
Dear Lord, I thank you for all you have done for me, please forgive me of my sins, and help to strengthen me in my faith. Lord please help me to overcome the anger I am feeling right now, toward the people that slashed the tires on my van, Saturday night, help me to find a way to get new tires so that I might have transportation once again.
In Jesus's name I pray. Amen

A question about praying?
The Bible Matthew 6:5-15
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
This, then, is how you should pray:
'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.'
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Jesus said to ask in his name.
We approach God through Jesus.
Prayer is only directed to the Father in the name of Jesus.
I really enjoyed this article.

there is no right or wrong way to pray. You can pray to both or you can pray to just one. However, I would recommend talking directly to God. God hears our prayers no matter how you pray.
