LESSON TWO
To Whom Should We Pray?
Because the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work in perfect unity and harmony, each has a specific role in our prayers. The writer of the Book of Hebrews said, “Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence [boldness], so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). But how do we approach the most powerful Presence in the universe? Do we pray directly to him? Do we pray to Jesus Christ and ask him to present our needs to the Father? How can we even approach such a holy God with boldness? In this lesson you will learn why all three persons of the Godhead are active in our prayers and why each person performs a separate but interconnecting role.
Lesson Objective: To understand the roles of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in prayer
