We cannot approach God the Father on our own, it is only through the redemptive blood of Christ

Really? Maybe that's why He taught us the Lord's Prayer?

Exactly - *HE* taught it to us. Without His teaching and intervention, our prayers were/are useless.

Do you then ignore the scripture I posted explaining Christ's intercession?

Do you then seek to hamper the power of Christ's atonement?

"Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me"
"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them."
"Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"
"If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it."

You can't ignore Christ's own words on this subject.

He is our intercession, He is our mediator, we can do nothing apart from Him.
