First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.
Romans 1:8 ESV

"Through Jesus Christ" - Yeshua is the mediator of the New Covenant and the only way to the Father. Our prayers are directed to the Father, but through the mediation, righteousness, and authority of Yeshua. That doesn't mean that the Son isn't God, but that he is the conduit through which we connect to the Father.
