The bible teaches that the absolute requirement for prayer is faith, which includes doing what one knows to be right (even if that knowledge results only from one's inborn conscience). Jehovah God does not listen to the insincere prayers of willful wrongdoers, but He does listen to the sincere prayers of those with an incomplete knowledge of Him.
(Isaiah 1:15-18) Even though you make many prayers, I am not listening; with bloodshed your very hands have become filled. Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the badness of your dealings from in front of my eyes; cease to do bad. Learn to do good; search for justice... Come, now, you people, and let us set matters straight between us,” says Jehovah
(Matthew 21:22) And all the [proper] things you ask in prayer, having faith, you will receive.
Jehovah's Witnesses are careful to do three interesting things when they pray.
1. Witnesses pray from the heart, rather than repeating some rehearsed prayer..
(Matthew 6:7-9) [Jesus said] But when praying, do not say the same things over and over again, just as the people of the nations do, for they imagine they will get a hearing for their use of many words. 8 So, do not make yourselves like them, for God your Father knows what things you are needing before ever you ask him. 9 “You must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified
2. Witnesses pray using the personal name of Jehovah.
(Matthew 6:9) [Jesus said] You must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified
(Psalm 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
3. Jehovah's Witnesses pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians 5:20) In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ giving thanks always for all things to our God and Father.
(Colossians 3:17) And whatever it is that you do in word or in work, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, thanking God the Father through him.
(1 Thessalonians 5:18) In connection with everything give thanks. For this is the will of God in union with Christ Jesus respecting you.

To Jehovah of course! You needn't look into the JW's Bible to see the proof of God's name because His Holy name, Jehovah or Yahweh is also written in the first version of King James, and other Chinese translated Bibles. Jehovah/Yahweh is the Creator of the whole universe and is Jesus' Father.
The spellings and pronunciations to His name differ in different languages just like some names have different spellings too. E.g. John, Jon, Jean, William, Wills, Bill, Billy, etc.
Therefore, don't be misled by some Christians who say Jehovah is not God just because they believe the Trinity teaching that Jesus is God and God is Jesus. If you read the New Testament thoroughly, you would see the Truth about who Jesus and Jehovah are, that they are actually two different persons.
JWs worship Jehovah God and they accept Jesus as the Savior and Ransom for our sins. Both are very important in our lives.

Mat 3:17 And behold! A voice out of the heaven saying, This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I have been delighting.
Mat 17:5 While he was yet speaking, behold, a radiant cloud overshadowed them. And, behold, a voice out of the cloud saying, This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I have been delighting; hear Him.
God the Father declared Christ to be His Son, the second member of the trinity, God incarnate.

You do sound VERY confused.
" I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life; no man can come to the Father except through me". -- Jesus Christ (Jn. 14:6)
\
" Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved". (Acts 4:12)

It sounds like you have been influenced by The Jehovah's Witnesses, which is not a Christian group, although they claim to be. They do not agree with orthodox Christian concepts. You can learn more about them on this site:

You can find more information about the Christian view of God on this page:

It has links to pages that specifically explain the nature of the Trinity and who Jesus is.

Jesus IS God, He is an eternal part of the Godhead, which consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit...

There is only one GOD, by definition, the Creator.
Jehovah is a mistranslation of the Jewish name for GOD.
They revere it so highly, they will not say the name.
GOD revealed his character to us through Jesus the SON.
Allah is the Moslem name for the one GOD.
