God: Prayer

Christian prayers are very varied. They can be completely spontaneous, or read entirely from a text. Probably the most common and universal prayer among Christians is the Lord's Prayer which is how Jesus taught his disciples to pray. Christians pray to God (without specifying a person of the Trinity); or to the Father, the Son or the Holy Spirit (or some combination of them). Some Christians will also ask the righteous in heaven and "in Christ", such as Virgin Mary or other saints to intercede by praying on their behalf. Other formulaic closures include "through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever", and "in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit". The most commonly used closure in Christianity is simply "Amen" (from a Hebrew adverb used as a statement of affirmation or agreement). [Source: Wikipedia]
