Why did Jesus take the time to give us an example of how we are to pray if it has no meaning?

Why would the scriptures say, time and time again for us to Ask the Father in Jesus name?

John 15:26 But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

John 16:13

However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority,

but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you of things to come.

(He will glorigy Me,) for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

All things that the Father has are Mine.

Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

Even in the book of Acts 3 Peter said, Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you:

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.

Every time the Holy Spirit falls it's because Jesus is the focus.

The Holy Spirit does not glorify Himself, He glorifies Jesus when faith is in operation.

To focus your prayer on the Holy Spirit is not what the Bible says to do!

Our prayers are to focus on the Father, in the name of Jesus!

Without the Name of Jesus and the cross being the focus,

we will be decieved.

We shoud put our trust in Jesus, and just let the Holy Spirit move as we focus on Him!

The Holy Spirit Glorifies Jesus and witnesses to the Glory of the promises of God being filled through the Son.

It is the power of the living word, moving, Jesus is the living word!

Focus on Jesus and the HolySpirit is there to give power to the word, witness to a mans heart, and carry out God word!

It is a witness to what is true, Jesus!

God is a God of order, He gave us an order of doing things,

If He says to do it this way or that way, I would listen to Him!

We are suppose to line up with the word of God.

The Bible does say to pray a certian way!

I believe the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one!

This was said by Jesus Himself, and is not some kind of tradition of man, or religious!

It's the Word of God!

If He said it, I believe it, so be it!

To not believe in the Holy Spirit and the Gifts of the Spirit would be wrong!

Jesus is the same, yesterday, today, and forever!

He said, signs and wonders follow those that believe!

Believe in Jesus!

You are to witness of Jesus and the Holy Spirit witnesses of Jesus, giving Glory to Father!

I have fallen victim to that warm, fuzzy feeling on the inside when it comes to over exaggerating the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Speaking in tongues, prophesying over people, and ever healing.

I will never deny His constant presence in my life, nor His power. I will never deny those gifts either, but when that awesome feeling becomes more to me than His touch, that is where I have had great difficulty.

Why do we seek this feeling more than just His face. I still struggle with this, so if anyone can highlight it would be appreciated.

I have the feeling.

The day I got saved a woman prayed over her and made me gag: before I turned Christian I lived the life of Witchcraft. And it felt good, relaxing.
Also, when I had a anxiety n attack one night I prayed myself to sleep and I had a dream where I floated from my bed but my body still laid on my bed. And it felt so relaxing and yet there was something wonderful in my chest, my heart.
