...please help for I am lost? This was given to me by my mom who is agnostic. Her parents are catholic, so I'm guessing her parents gave her the picture of Saint Jude. I'm a Christian and I pray to God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit. I turn to Jesus Christ for ALL my problems and ask him for guidance. To be honest, I don't even know who Saint Jude is.
 
"I turn to Jesus Christ for ALL my problems and ask him for guidance"

Except, apparently, for this question.
 
Balding British actor with half a dozen kids and an inauspicious biography.

Sorry, that's Jude Law.

You mean the Beatles dude, right?
 
St Jude is patron saint of desperate situations and hospitals. Also the Chicago Police Department - is there a link?
 
What is the problem ?
St. Jude was one of the 12 disciples, I think he is the patron saint of lost causes.
 
Jesus Christ said: “You should pray like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, .*.*. ’” So prayers are to be addressed to the Father. Jesus also said: “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you ask for anything in my name, I will do it.” (Matt. 6:9; John 14:6,*14, JB) Thus Jesus ruled out the idea that anyone else could fill the role of intercessor. The apostle Paul added regarding Christ: “He not only died for us—he rose from the dead, and there at God’s right hand he stands and pleads for us.” “He is living for ever to intercede for all who come to God through him.” (Rom. 8:34; Heb. 7:25, JB) If we truly want our prayers to be heard by God, would it not be wise to approach God in the way that his Word directs?
Rom. 15:30, JB: “I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of the Spirit, to help me through my dangers by praying to God for me.” (The apostle Paul, himself a saint, asked fellow Christians who were also saints to pray for him. But notice that Paul did not address his prayers to those fellow saints, nor did their prayers on his behalf replace the personal intimacy that Paul himself enjoyed with the Father by means of prayer. Compare Ephesians 3:11, 12,*14.)
Therefore that picture of Saint Jude will not help you in worshiping God
