To whom Jesus had prayed? 

And saith unto them my soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here and watch. And he weat forward a little, and fell on the ground and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him. And he said Abba, possible the hour might pass from him. And he said Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but thou wilt. cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but thou wilt. -Mark 14:34:36

        According to the above verse one can notice obviously that Jesus himself had been praying to the Almighty Jehovah to whom the all prophets had been praying right from the beginning. Therefore Jesus had prayed only Jehovah. Now let us see to whom he ordered to pray to his disciples in the following passage.

And it came to pass, that, as he [Jesus] was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, when ye pray, say Our disciples. And he said unto them, when ye pray, say Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done as in heaven, so in earth. kingdom come. Thy will be done as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also for give every one that is indebted to us. sins; for we also for give every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not in to temptation: but deliver us from evil. And lead us not in to temptation: but deliver us from evil. -Luke 11:1-4

       In the above prayer Jesus has explained some important basic points to them, those who want to attain the salvation through him. The first point of them is that he orders clearly that one should pray only one Jehovah and secondly he says that 'Hollowed be thy name'. The meaning in clear terms of this prayer is 'save us from the curruption of the polythism. Therefore one should recognise and believe Jehovah as the Almighty One. And the third point is that "Thy kingdom come" this means as saying "bestow the ability and good fortune upon us in order to make the righteous, moral and fruitful society. And fourth point is that the prayer for daily bread" instead of the peaceless accumulation of the worldly wealth gant us content ment with what you provide us and fifth point is that- "Forgive us our sins as we are forgiving our indebters ". And the sixth point is that "And lead us not into temptation" it means "we are unable to bear the hard temptations" so protect us from satanic influences. In this way Jesus commands to his disciples to pray only Jehovah. Because Jesus had the firm belief in Jehovah just as the former prophets, that only one Jehovah is the capable to answer our every prayer. That is why he ordered to his disciples that they should also have the same belief.

Who shall reward for our prayers? 

But thou, when thou prayest enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. thee openly. -Matthew 6:6

We understand from the above verse that one, who is the real follower of Jesus, should always regard Jehovah only as his acceptor of his prayers.

Why should we regard only Jehovah?

    And why alone he can reward us? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. do not I fill heaven and earth? Saith the Lord. the Lord. -Jeremeiah 23:24

Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 

If I ascend up into heaven thou art there: from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven thou art there: If I make my bed in hell, behold thou art there -Psalms 139:7-8 

To whom the people of Church prayed after Jesus? Peter therefore was kept in prison; but pryer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. -Acts 12:5 

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. -Acts 16:25 

If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally. all men liberally. -James 1:5

       The present day christians, misconception is that the believers, who were living in the time before to Jesus, had been praying Jehovah for their needs, but after the comming of Jesus, all believers should pray Jesus. But on contrary to their imagination we can see from the above verses that the disciples of Jesus and even Paul also prayed only one Jehovah after the time of Jesus.
