Amen brother -- God listens to the language of the heart not to how well
we form our prayer or how accurately pronounce his name.
Think about this for a moment:
Take several folks from diverse geographical areas of the English
speaking world and get them all to say "Jesus" (one at a time of
course).
How differently would the sound of "Jesus" being spoken by a Scotsman
from Glasgow be from the southern drawl of a Texan? or the difference
between an English speaking [Asian] Indian and an Australian?

So does it matter if we say Yeshua or Jesus or Iesous?
