What verse in the bible tells us to pray directly to God?

Answer by  worker5874 (120)

The Lord's Prayer, or "Our Father," can be found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke (6:9-13 and 11:2-4 respectively). This prayer is said directly to the Father, as done by Jesus Himself. However, saints can intercede on behalf of someone; praying to them to intercede is thus orthodox.
