How should I address God when praying?

Say this to the Lord and to yourself. I rely upon the Holy Spirit when I pray in Jesus’ name to the Father.

Answer: All prayer should be directed to our triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Bible teaches that we can pray to one or all three, because all three are one. To the Father we pray with the psalmist, “Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray” (Psalm 5:2).
