I am taking a course on Grace, Christ and the Holy Spirit. I was asked to think of my image of Jesus Christ and my understanding of the origin of this image. The discussion with my classmates led to a discussion about who we address our prayers to daily.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I have always prayed to God. I have known God from a young age and felt a comfort with talking to him daily like I would talk to a friend, because he is my friend. I have seldom been able to address my prayers to Jesus Christ. I completely believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, the savior of the world, my personal redeemer and the only one who is both 100% human and 100% divine. I have no doubt that Jesus Christ will be there to greet me on the other side and that He is the one I need to emulate daily. However, I have never felt comfortable praying to Jesus. I am not sure why.<\/p>\n<p>In the Catholic Church most prayers as a community are addressed to God and end with &#8220;In Jesus name we pray&#8221;. Maybe that is where it came from, but I am not sure.<\/p>\n<p>So, to whom do you address your prayers and where did that originate? I would love to hear your story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think everyone does this a little different&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":12957,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[22,1071,128,38],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12955"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12955\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
