The Bible is very clear that all prayers should be made to Almighty God only.
Almighty God (Jehovah) is the "Hearer of Prayer"
Psalms 65:2 O Hearer of prayer, to you people of all sorts will come.
Jesus confirmed this when he was on the earth and gave us instructions on the proper way to pray in Matthew the 6th Chapter (in the Lord's Prayer)
Matthew 6:5-15 "Also, when you pray, do not act like the hypocrites, for they like to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the main streets to be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your private room and, after shutting your door, pray to your Father who is in secret. Then your Father who looks on in secret will repay you. 7 When praying, do not say the same things over and over again as the people of the nations do, for they imagine they will get a hearing for their use of many words. 8 So do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need even before you ask him.
9 "You must pray, then, this way:
"'Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth. 11 Give us today our bread for this day; 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver* us from the wicked one.'
14 "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; 15 whereas if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Will a Jehovah say the prayer god give me strath?
Jehovah's Witnesses do not repeat specific prayers, instead they are taught to pray from their heart, expressing their inner thoughts and emotions. Also in line with your question however is that Jehovah's Witnesses are encouraged from the Bible to pray for strength from God to overcome the trials that they experience.
God prophosised over me and said my life would get better and for a day or two it did but now 2 weeks since I was prayed for everythings getting worse than ever?
If you had someone else pray for you; that's not the same as you praying to Jehovah God yourself.Unbeknownst to many people who think God listens to all prayers; Jehovah God, the Creator, The Almighty, -- does not listen to all prayers. He himself states of some people's prayers in Isaiah 1:15: "although you make many prayers, I am NOT LISTENING."Perhaps the person praying for you, was not acceptable to Jehovah; maybe doesn't even worship Jehovah. Just because someone is a clergy person, doesn't mean he was ORDAINED by Jehovah God.You first need to learn the truth about Jehovah, and what he requires of you. Then you will be drawn close to Him; and he will draw close to you.You also need to learn about the requirements Jehovah has for prayer. Jehovah does not just answer every Tom, Dick, and Harry's prayer, just because you prayed.Please see LINKS below.Another answer:God does listen to all prayers, but what you need to understand is that sometimes He says no. Otherwise you could pray, 'Dear God, I pray that I would be rich and famous and have a ferrari etc etc' and Bam! you'd get everything? How would that work? Everyone would be praying for everything and the world would be a mess! Praying that your life would get better is a bit like those prayers. Your life is never going to be perfect, because there is sin in the world. Maybe a better thing to pray would be that God would help you through the day, and strengthen you.

How does one justify praying to Jesus when Jesus commanded to pray to Jehovah in his name?
There IS no justification for this. Some Christians are simply unlearned and ill-informed about the proper address for their prayers.
What do christians put in their incense?
The precise formula/recipe that Jehovah God gave to the Israelites is found in Exodus 30:34-37. In fact, the formula was not to be used for personal use, upon pain of death. (verse 38)While the ancient Israelites did use literal incense; Jehovah's Witnesses as Christians, do not find a need for incense, crosses, idols, or other religious paraphernalia.With Christians, 'incense' takes on a spiritual meaning. Revelation 5:8 tells the meaning of incense: ". . . incense, which are the prayers of God's people." (TNIV)(AMP)King David spoke of 'preparing' his 'prayers' - - like incense.Therefore instead of repeating like rote, the Lord's Prayer, or other standardized prayers; Jehovah's Witnesses offer 'well thought-out' prayers, 'heartfelt' prayers. This is the composition we put into our spiritual incense.Other religions view things differently; and they might have a completely different formula from the one given to the Israelites.
What is an example of Jehovah witness prayers?
As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I can answer that for you first hand. First, our prayers are done without the use of any trinkets, orniments, beads, or anything like that. We do not have any set prayers that are already written out or manuscripted either. All of our prayers are directed to Jehovah, the GOD of Heaven, and are done through his son Jesus Christ. A Jehovah's Witness might pray several times a day for anything from thanking GOD for a meal, this day of life, or some other blessing. A prayer could be one requesting help with a problem, or asking for GOD's holy spirit to be upon the one praying, or it could be that the requests are being made on behalf of someone else. The list of things we might pray about are really too numerous to mention. A Jehovah's Witness might find themself praying about anything, because we believe that GOD's will should be taken into consideration in all aspects of our daily life. Answer2: Jehovah's Witnesses do not memorize prayers and recite them at the meetings or anywhere else. The repititon of memorized prayers does not please God. Jesus left us the model prayer at Matthew 6:9-10 to give all of us an idea of things to pray for and about. Prayers are very private and very personal. They are an indication of our love for God and our trust in him. Jesus even looked for private places to pray. Matthew 14:23 "After sending the crowds away, he went uo on the mountain by himself to pray." Mark 10:35 "Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up and went outside and left for an isolated place, and there he began praying." So Jehovah's Witnesses follow Jesus example making prayers and private and personal matter. At our public meetings, the Memorial of Christ Death, Assemblies, Conventions, Funerals and Memorial talks a speaker or chairman will give an opening and closing prayer. Heartfelt prayer spiritually enhances all our meetings and is offered on behalf of all those assembled.

What would be acceptable prayer before a meal for Jehovah witness and Christian?
Typically Jehovah's witnesses address their prayers specifically to Jehovah (the most common translation of gods name YHWH as found in the bible) and at the close of the prayer pray through Jesus' name. As in "we ask all these things through your son Christ Jesus' name, amen." Within those parameters anything you want to say, as long as its respectful would be fine. Even if you don't pray to Jehovah specifically the majority of Jehovah's witnesses wouldn't make a fuss and would listen respectfully.
Is there a list of prayers for death of a Jehovah's Witness?
No. Jehovah's Witnesses do not have a list of prayers already spelled by rote for any situation, including funerals or death. We believe that all prayers should be from the heart of the one praying, and we feel that if the prayer is already dictated by someone else, then it is likely not going to be a heartfelt expression between the person praying and God. If a person wishes to pray to God, they should open up their heart and speak to God as if they are speaking to a Father, because He is our heavenly Father. Answer2: Jehovah's Witnesses act in harmony with the scriptures and do not have a list of memorized scriptures. Matthew 6:7 says "When praying, do not say the same things over and over again...) Answer also: Jehovah's Witnesses do not memorize prayers and recite them at the meetings or anywhere else. The repititon of memorized prayers does not please God. Jesus left us the model prayer at Matthew 6:9-10 to give all of us an idea of things to pray for and about. Prayers are very private and very personal.
