Christians vary on their view of this but only slightly. Most will pray to God and do so in Jesus name as the Bible suggests. But, you might also here Christians say, "Praise Jesus" just as they often say, "Praise God." Jesus talks about God alone being worthy of worship. But other parts of the Bible imply strongly that God, the Father, Jesus the eternal Christ, and the Holy Spirit are different aspects of the same Supreme Being or Godhead.
So, yes, there are devout Christians who worship Jesus and God interchangeably. I see no fault with that, personally, as long as they subscribe to the doctrine of the Trinity (God in three Persons,) Oddly, it is less common to observe worship directed toward the Holy Spirit. I can't explain that, but I've always thought it a bit odd. I do believe God understands your heart whatever your practice may be regarding this.

I personally worship both. You can't convince me that there is not a trinity. Mark 13:32 Jesus is speaking about the end of time and says: But of that day and that hour knoweth no man,no, not the angels which are in Heaven, NEITHER THE SON , BUT THE FATHER. How could He be God and not know when He's coming back. Jesus in our mediator between us and God, and He sits at the right hand of God waituing for Him to send Him after his people ( Christians ) Thanks for asking.

Since the Lord Jesus Christ had to become a man so He could die for the sins of the world and rise again on the third day so all that would believe in what He done could go to heaven. The Lord Jesus Christ is God almighty. There is one God but manifested in three persons just like you are made up of body, soul and spirit. God is made up of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. Philippians 2: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Philippians 2: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Philippians 2: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

In thier talk you would think they worship Jesus.....in fact, most christians believe that Jesus is God.! I find it very strange that Jesus would pray to himself...I find it very strange that Jesus, when he was up on the cross said--Father, why hath thou forsaken me? If Jesus was God...I dont think he would be asking that question AND if Jesus WAS God....why he couldnt help himself off the cross?? God needs no help from anyone or anything......

Christians believe that there are 3 persons who are God.
The leader of the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther, explained it rather well.
Each person is of the same essence as the other. Each person is in the others similarly to like we say that Jesus is in us.
Each person has a mind and spiritual body. The only one with a flesh body is Jesus.
Humans are 3 fold beings: soul, spirit, and body.
The soul is the actual person (will, mind, emotions, intellect, etc.)
The spirit is a spiritual body.
The natural body is the earth suit.
God is omnipresent, omniscient, omniversal, and omnipotent.
P.S.
Another teaching in Christendom is that the three are the same person. People like me don't believe that the three are the same person.

Christians worship God. Christians call God "God the Father."
I am a Christian. I know these things.

Makes you wonder some times. That's why Muslims go a little
overboard on Christians. Because Christainity corrupted truth,
and muslims see them as Breaking the comandment to
have no other gods before God.
Myself, I don't want to be a killjoy. But all the people jumping
up and down and glorifying because Jesus died for them, used
to make me sick! They should be ashamed He had to die like
that because of our stupidity!

We worship God, our creator and we do it in the name of the one he sent to grant us salvation, Jesus Christ, our personal Lord and Savior. Yes they are the same, but God is the "boss" head.
