I just did a search for "1914" and only came up with one hit on page 31. Is this something that is receiving less emphasis as in times past? There were no hits for 1918 or 1919....well, one for 1919, but that was for 1919 B.C.E.

proof that the NT likely was first written in Hebrew

Ok...back on topic...

If the NT was originally written in Hebrew, wouldn't we expect to see Jesus uttering the Divine Name in his prayers?

Is there any verse in the Christian Scriptures where Jesus utters God's Name in one of his prayers?

As to the "restoration" of the Divine Name citing recent Hebrew translations. (Recent as being in the last millennium, not from the first millennium.) See this tract which shows the Watchtower Society ignored some of the usage of the Tetragrammaton by these versions:

I'll ask this one more time...

Spike,

Is there a verse in the Christian Scriptures where Jesus utters the name of God in a prayer?

From the May 1, 1978 Watchtower, p. 12:

There are verses in the Hebrew Scriptures about Jehovah that are quoted in the “New Testament” in a context speaking about the Son. (Isa. 40:3—Matt. 3:3—John 1:23; Joel 2:32—Rom. 10:13; Ps. 45:6, 7—Heb. 1:8, 9) This is understandable, for Jesus was the Father’s foremost representative.

If someone is quoting from Joel 2:32, such as at Romans 10:13, it is most fitting that Jehovah's name appears, otherwise it is misquoted.

"Most fitting." Should we not accept the text the way it is written instead of trying to change it to fit our theology?

After all, there is not one verse where Jesus is shown to have uttered God's name in prayer. Doesn't that tell us something?

And, if you look at the context of Romans 10:13, who is being referred to there? Which "Lord"?
