why do people bother praying to something that is invisible?

...Funny how someone who does not exist and is invisible managed to rearrange our whole calendar around His birth.
...We pray to Him because we were bought by Him with an incredible price - His own blood. He did everything God required so I could have relationship with Him - so why shouldn't I? Wouldn't you want to talk to your dearest friend and ask His help in life?

Why do you even bother to ask about something that is invisible?
That's because indirectly, you were affected by His existence. You see things that might suggest that Jesus exist. You see people praying to HIm, You see people's life changes because of Him.
Another possible explaination is that you see the leaves moves and paper flying which might suggest the existence of wind.
Well you see, we do just see things with our physical eyes. We see him in our mind's eyes, our heart and our soul. We see him in our everyday lives, in the people we live with, in the nature and everything else. If only we take the time to see, we will find God in all things.
Jesus Christ exists you see and therefore people are experiencing Him, praying to Him, loving Him and living life in Him, with Him and through Him.
Maybe all you need to do to see Him is just to pray to Him.

Faith is the answer. We have to believe in a higher power but we tend to think; we did this ourselves. We know nothing about God. We do have ancient fact about Jesus and his challenging the old testament believers to believe in His love for us and his unconditional forgiveness.
Jesus is visable in world order when it is peaceful, kind and prayerful. Jesus is visible in the human race and people that do their best. Jesus is also visable at what the Catholics and some other religions call Mass or the Eucharist (the actual Body and Blood of Jesus "The Christ." It started at the last supper and it is going on Thousands of years later. God is visible to me and see where he is visible to you. You'll eventually meet him. Mark my words. Have Faith. Blessings on you forever for having the question!!

Except for the fact that you do not have theological training, you are like Nicodemus. He could not see it either. Read the first half of John 3. If you can figure out "born again" then it will no longer be invisible.

He may be invisible to you but He lives in my heart.

He does exist and I will pray that you will be touched by God's hand so that you can understand.
Jesus loves you!
