Who is Jesus praying to?

Mat 6:9 Therefore pray in this way: Our Father, who is in Heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

Mat 14:23 And when He had sent the crowds away, He went up into a mountain apart to pray. And when evening had come, He was there alone.

Mat 26:36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to the disciples, Sit here while I go and pray there.

Here is Jesus standing at the right hand of God. How can you stand at the right hand of yourself?

Act 7:55 But being full of the Holy Spirit, looking up intently into Heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Act 7:56 And he said, Behold, I see Heaven opened and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.

Rom 8:34 Who is he condemning? It is Christ who has died, but rather also who is raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

Col 3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.

1Pe 3:21 which figure now also saves us, baptism; not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ; 1Pe 3:22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into Heaven, where the angels and authorities and powers are being subjected to Him.

And how can Jesus be our Mediator and our God at the same time?

1Ti 2:5 For God is one, and there is one Mediator of God and of men, the Man Christ Jesus, 1Ti 2:6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 1Ti 2:7 To this I am ordained a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie), a teacher of the nations, in faith and truth.

Heb 9:15 And for this cause He is the Mediator of the new covenant, so that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, those who are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Don't expect any direct answers.
