Jesus prayed to God because, while fully divine, He also assumed full humanity during His earthly ministry, which required dependence on the Father. As the incarnate Son, He lived within human limitations, learning obedience and experiencing human needs such as hunger, fatigue, and sorrow, all of which necessitated communication with God.
