I believe it proves that there are no instructions to pray to Jesus in the Bible.

You hammer away at this mistaken idea because you do not believe Jesus is God.
You refuse to define prayer.
You ignore scriptures where Stephen prayed to Jesus as he died.
You dismiss scriptures where Jesus said we can ask Him for things.
This unedifying quarrelsome conversation has reached a dead end.
Yes, absolutely correct. Prayer is for the Father only.
Is asking me for things prayer? No
Is asking you for things prayer? No
Is asking Jesus for things prayer? No
Let's just agree to disagree. I have been in what seem like debates that go on for years, with little to no progress, and both sides becoming more entrenched in their views, because people feel passionately about what they believe. I would add, zeal is not the yardstick for what is true. That being said, let's agree that the Bible never provides an instruction to pray to Jesus, regardless of whether he is God or not. The Bible is simply silent on the matter of directing prayers to him, i.e., the word "prayer" isn't even used to describe talking to Jesus, no one said "pray to Jesus", people say pray to the Father and ask the Father repeatedly.
