In regards to prayer, the following was given by Jesus:"This, then, is how you should pray:
“ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from the evil one."
"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." (Matt.6:6)
"We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you" (Col.1:3)
"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better." (Eph.1:17)
"Since you call on a Father who judges each person's work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear."
(1 Pet.1:17)
"Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." (Matt.26:39)
Jesus prayed to the Father only and every example is the apostles praying to God the Father. You will not find any examples like this praying to dead saints nor to angels nor to Mary. Praying to anyone else but the Father in the name of his Son is following after the traditions of men. In this case, it is following after Roman Catholic dogma. In Revelation, that the prayers of the great tribulation saints are being offered up by the four living beings and the twenty four elders does not constitute praying to saints who have died and now in heaven. We can pray to God the Father in the name of our Lord for our living brothers and sisters here and they for us, but we are not pray to those saints who have passed on for intercession, for they cannot speak to God on our behalf. That's Jesus office.
All prayer should be directed to God the Father in the name of his Son, Yeshua Hamashiach.
My prayer for you is that you would come away from the traditions of men.
