Jesus Christ atoned for our sins, yet of the Father we ask forgiveness. Why is this? Should we not be praying to Jesus for forgiveness? He was the one who took our sins upon himself. Is it not the Savior to whom we are indebted? Maybe the argument becomes that even if God the Father chooses to build His Kingdom through His Son, we are still meant to address the Father in prayer for all things as he is the Master Designer of our existence.  But even considering this, I still don't get it.
