Most Christians pray in the name of Jesus Christ and still pray to the same Jesus Christ as if Jesus is Almighty God. I don't really understand, Is Jesus Almighty God?

The Bible’s answer
Jesus’ opposers accused him of making himself equal to God. (John 5:18; 10:30-33) However, Jesus never claimed to be on the same level as Almighty God. He said: “The Father is greater than I am.”—John 14:28. Jesus’ early followers did not view him as being equal to Almighty God. For example, the apostle Paul wrote that after Jesus was resurrected, God “exalted him [Jesus] to a superior position.” Obviously, Paul did not believe that Jesus was Almighty God. Otherwise, how could God exalt Jesus to a superior position? —Philippians 2:9.This misconception is very popular among Muslims. Each time I listen to their sermon, they always criticise us for taking Jesus as God. But this is very wrong. There are many bible verses where Jesus made reference to God who sent him, so he is not God. I think the misconception originated from the Holy Mary mother of god......... Prayer by the Catholics. But as pentecostals, we can clearly differentiate between the two. But unfortunately I don't think Muslims know the difference between Catholics and pentecostals. Whenever they want to criticise, they will say Christians don't know what they are doing by calling Jesus God.
