What???!
This is controversial and taboo...NOT!
Only the "religious" have a problem praying to the Lord Jesus.
Jesus IS God.
We pray to the Father.
God is Father.
Jesus is Lord. (God the Son)
The Holy Spirit is God.
Let the praying begin!

- Christ is the "one in charge" of everything that affects my spiritual life (1 Corinthians 15:27), but I can't talk to him?
- Christ is the Head of the body of which I am a member, but I can't talk to Him?
- Christ is the Vine in which I am a branch (John 15:1-8), from Whom I derive all of my spiritual sustenance, but I can't talk to Him?
- Christ is the King of the kingdom of which I am a citizen, but I can't talk to the King?
- Christ is the Captain of my salvation (Hebrews 2:10), but I can't talk to my Captain?
- Christ is my Brother (Hebrews 2:11), but I can't talk to my Brother?
- Christ is my High Priest (Hebrews 3:1) He offered Himself for my sins, He is touched with all of the feelings of my infirmities (Hebrews 4:15), and is over the house of God of which I am a part (Hebrews 10:21), but I can't talk to my High Priest? (1 Timothy 2:5).
- Christ is my Physician (Luke 5:31), but I can't talk to my Physician?
- Christ is the Bishop of my soul(1 Peter 2:25), but I can't talk to my Bishop?
- Christ is the Bridegroom of the church (His bride)(2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:22-33, but the bride can't talk to the bridegroom?
- Christ is my "Counselor" (Isaiah 9:6), but I can't talk to my Counselor?
- Christ is my Friend (John 15:14-15), but I can't talk to my Friend?
- Christ is the "Great Shepherd of the sheep" (Hebrews 13:20), of which I am one, but I can't talk to my Shepherd?
- Christ is the "Minister of the sanctuary" (Hebrews 8:2), of which I am a part, but I cannot talk to my Minister(servant)? Why, it is amazing to even contemplate! It is much more logical as well as abundantly Scriptural to "TELL IT TO JESUS."
