u/GloryBeToTheFather

Would it be considered idolatry if I looked into an icons eyes as if it were Jesus when I pray; because I sometimes find it very hard to find true conviction and I also seem to say things more clearly with another person face to face instead of talking to someone without seeing them.

Mostly excuses on my part but I still want to know, last thing I would want would to be committing a grave sin.

P.S. I'm a Catholic by name only (too young to drive to church whilst I live in a Protestant household) and I would just need to know this since I'm very new to iconography.
