How do Christians gain access to God through prayer?

Christians are granted access to God through prayer by the mediation of Jesus Christ and the enabling of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 2:18 explains, 'For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.' This highlights the collaborative work of the Trinity in believers' prayer life. Jesus, as our mediator, opens the way to God, while the Holy Spirit assists us in our weaknesses and directs our prayers in accordance with God's will (Romans 8:26-27). Hence, prayer is not merely a personal act but a communal engagement with the Godhead.
