Oh so you wanna change up the words. Words matter. You just wanna ask..”ask” for help. Like this? “Hey big Mike, needs some help here”. Like that? No, you don’t. You’re praying. This thread is about prayers. Stop being naive. And praying is worship. Again, stop pretending to be ignorant of that.
No one is being hostile. Stop being sensitive. Jesus taught us how to pray. Asking from God IS praying. And praying to an angel or Peter, etc is pointless. Only one can answer prayers. And asking IS praying. This isn’t difficult. Let me go further. Does God pray to you? Think about that. No. But He does ASK thing from you. This isn’t a two way street. We pray. God Ask. Simple.
God’s Word is rigid. Don’t get why people think there is wiggle room when it comes to the Word of God. It’s clear. False gods, equal anyone receiving worship other than God. Prayers are worship. Asking is praying. A servant is never in a position to be on a equal level to his master. Therefore asking like your equal isn’t correct. It’s always in the form of a petition. Some would say begging or praying. But we are loved. More than anyone in your life could love you. I think having a regular conversation is fine to the Lord Jesus. He’s our connection to the Father. We have the Holy Spirit. But we are not equals. Humbleness. Being humble. This is mentioned many times in the Bible. Jesus is my friend. And I bend a knee to Him always. So I will always talk in an matter of “less than”. And am always safe in that position because He is so good. He would never betray me or hurt me in His position of power.

Pray <> worship
Fren, just look at freaking Shakespeare- prithee, pray thee, friend could you...
You are making statements that don't make sense to me, consequently I am asking questions. I do not understand why you're getting hostile.

Understood. My spiritual life is not nearly as rigidly constructed as yours, but I wish you the best.
