My last couple posts have been about prayer. Today’s is too.

Our pastor is doing a series on the Holy Spirit. Yesterday he spoke specifically about grieving the Holy Spirit, what that means and how we do it. Last week he talked about the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Anyway, all this has us thinking more about the Trinity. So here is the question for the day. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

When we pray, should we pray specifically to the distinct members of the Trinity, taking into consideration the different roles each plays? Does it matter if we say “Father” instead of “Holy Spirit” or “Jesus, the Son?” Or are the names interchangable in prayer? Paul tells us the Holy Spirit incedes for us, so do we just let Him serve as the operator directing our calls? Or do we need to be specific?

Okay, so that’s five questions, but it’s all the same topic. Go ahead. Discuss.
