Or is it that you pray to Jehovah (God) through Jesus Christ's name? I'm just curious to see which one you guys pray to as there are some who pray to Jesus and some who pray to Jehovah God and some who pray to God through Jesus's name. So which is the correct way of praying if you don't mind me asking you?

True Christians (such as Jehovah's Witnesses) pray to Jehovah through God's appointed mediator Jesus Christ.
(Romans 12:12) Persevere in prayer.
(1 Thessalonians 5:17) Pray incessantly.
(1 Timothy 2:5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus
(John 14:6) Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
(John 16:19,23) Jesus knew they were wanting to question him, so he said to them: “...If you ask the Father for anything he will give it to you in my name.
(John 14:9,13,14) Jesus said to him: “..Also, whatever it is that you ask in my name, I will do this, in order that the Father may be glorified in connection with the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
In the bible, no prayer is ever said directly to Jesus. In the bible, every person who ever addresses Jesus does so because Jesus appears in front of him!
Thanks for another opportunity to share the bible truth that Jehovah God the Father is a distinct person from Jesus Christ the Son!

we pray to Jehovah but when we end our prayer, we say in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Jesus Christ is the Son of the Most Holy Father, not God Almighty. Jesus is seating at the right hand of Jehovah God.

Im curious why you're tossing the name of Jehovah around? Are you a Jehovah's witness? God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one being. In Christianity we call that the Trinity. I would say most prayers begin "Father" or "Lord," but we are praying to the father, but in essense you are talking to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I don't think it matters if you call on the Jesus or God the Father. It's all the same.

Christians pray to God the Father "in" the name of Jesus Christ (Matthew 6). Only the Bible offers believers the opportunity to be adopted in God's family. When we pray we ask the Father our requests in a way which indicates we desire what Jesus desires. It is as if a boy asks for a sandwich from his mother, but he wants the sandwich for his sister. He asks his mother in the name of his sister. So also, followers of Christ seek the desires of Christ by asking God the Father.

As Christians we can pray to God, Jesus or the Holy spirit or all three. Most prayer is directed to God. All prayer goes through Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the mediator (go-between) between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). This is why in Colossians 3:17, we are told "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."

I pray...Dear Heavenly Father...
I feel that is all encompassing...of God, Jesus, Christ and the Holy Spirit.
