Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "LDS" or "Mormon" church) pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ. This is because Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God - the "advocate with the Father" (1 John 2:1), "mediator between God and men" (1 Timothy 2:5) and "the way [by which] man cometh unto the Father" (John 14:6) - Jesus and His Father (God the Father or Heavenly Father) are two individual beings, and the only way to approach God the Father is in the name and through the grace of Jesus Christ.The New Testament records that when Jesus was on earth, He prayed many times. He was not praying to himself - he was praying to God, His Father. He did not pray to any other object or being and in fact prohibited it. Mormons follow this directive by praying only to God the Father, and they approach God in the way that scripture directs - through Jesus Christ, who said "No man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6)
This doctrine of praying to God alone and not to Jesus is clarified in the Book of Mormon, in 3 Nephi chapter 19. In this chapter, Jesus Christ is visiting the people in the American continent after His resurrection. He commands the people to pray and they begin to pray to Him (Jesus). He in turn says a prayer in their behalf, saying that "they pray unto me because I am with them" and asking God to hear those prayers. This illustrates Jesus' role as the mediator between God and man and the Biblical truth that "there is one God, and one mediator between God and men" (1 Timothy 2:5).
