When Jesus was asked how we should pray, he did not tell us to pray to his mother, to his brothers, his apostles or even to himself. He taught us to pray direct to God. Anything else is at best, second best.
And that is my point....you have settled for something that is second rate at best even if it were true while ignoring the fact that you may come directly to the Father.
Why would you not want to do that? Perhaps because you are not born again, you are not filled with the Holy Spirit, and you still stand in judgement by God. But this is lifted the moment sincere belief occurs. You are washed as clean as new-fallen snow and no more are you condemned but have found been righteous in God’s eyes.
This is what you are seeking...not something said to a dead human who can neither see you nor hear you. Take what is being offered you and never let go!
