Try approaching God through the Son and the Son through the Mother. You’ll be surprised at the number of your prayers that will be answered.
No, I won’t do that. As I explained, and pointed out to you, these Mary prayers call her “our life, our sweetness and our hope,” and include statements of people dedicating themselves to her completely, body and soul, trusting her for salvation, etc., when, on that last point alone, the Bible is clear, including in Jesus’ Hebrew name of Joshua, that the Lord is our salvation, and “the Lord is my strength and my song and has become my salvation.” How can expect true, eternal good to come from contradicting God’s own Word? I shouldn’t and don’t.
God’s Word also says that those who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved, and Jesus Himself said that this eternal life: to know His Father, and Jesus Christ whom the Father sent (John 17:3).
Our prayers are something the Lord uses for us to get to know Him. He could just give us everything and solve all of our problems, or never let us have any in the first place, but our problems compel us, if we believe in Him, to go to Him, and through them, He teaches us about Himself, and we also experience Him and learn all sorts of things, especially about our relationship with Him.
So I know that eternally speaking, it is best and the only truly right way to pray, to pray only to God Himself, usually to the Father through the Son. The Lord’s Prayer isn’t exactly in that form, but since Jesus gave it to us, that is also in a sense going through Him. And over the years I’ve grown in my trust and love for the Lord by doing so, and even see when things are most troubling and threatening is when I seem never more aware of His love, concern and closeness, and learn so much about Him and the life we have in Him. He said tribulations would come, and His Word says they will all work for our good, and also says that if we delight ourselves in Him, He will give us the desires of our heart. And He has been giving me them, while showing me that to begin with I truly didn’t even know or understand that much about those desires compared to what He does.
So, I want my prayer life to help me in my spiritual life to get to know the Father and Son better, as God’s Word says, and to be in obedience to His Word on prayer and what He says about Himself.
