I do not want to give the impression that it is wrong to pray/talk to Jesus. My main point is that Jesus spoke forth the importance of praying to the Father. It's strange that it seemed like one of WL's favorite books was Ephesians, which when I read it, I see that Paul likewise emphasized praying to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, and explained that it is through Christ that we now have access to God. Paul does not teach in Ephesians to pray to Jesus but to the Father--such as 5:20 giving thanks always to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. WL must have been deep in the natural man when he shared this book.
