You've got God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. By and large, I just pray to God - that is, all three together.

Here's one way to better understand. Each person has a body, a spirit and a soul. Do you identify each as a Person or are they all parts of a whole? Its the same with God. He is God the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. Not three separate Gods. I pray in the name of Jesus, and to Jesus, God the Father and the Holy Spirit. I pray to God.

The Catholic Church teaches that there is One God who is 3 Divine Persons. The Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit.
I begin all prayer by tracing Jesus' Cross over my body while I quote Holy Scripture (Matt 28:19), "In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of God the Holy Spirit"
This "Sign of the Cross" is an acknowledgment of the 3 Divine Persons and a prayer for God to Bless me.
So who do I pray to? It is a good idea to speak and listen to all three Divine Persons. In this way we discover the special relationship we have with each Divine Person.
For example, the Blessed Virgin Mary had the following relationships: She was daughter of God the Father, mother of Jesus (God the Son), and spouse of the Holy Spirit.
We should ask each Divine Person to reveal to us the relationship He wants to have with us...
May God Bless you,

I was baptized (scripturally) inThe Name of the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit; I pray to The Father in The Son´s Name by the power of The Holy Spirit who helps my weakness in praying (according to the Bible).

I pray to God the Father, as Jesus said to in the Lord's Prayer.

They (the trinity believers) are confused. Christianity is basically a polytheistic religion due to pagan influence. I do not believe Jesus was God because that would mean that there are two Gods. Then there's the mythical "Holy Spirit", which makes it three Gods. That's plainly pagan. Then we have the zealots who attempt to explain it off as three in one. Baloney!

I'm a Christian...I worship God.
I'm constantly praying and talking to God. Which part of the Trinity hears it is irrelevant, because all of God is in each part of the Trinity.
Look up the word "omnipresent"...

We pray to one God... and that that one God has 3 persons... kinda like this (but not quite) Like you are one person. You're your parent's son, but you're your child's father, and at the same time your your niece/nephew's uncle.
It's that each person in God has a different "specialty" God the Father is the Creator... God the Son (Jesus) brings salvation, and God the Holy Spirit bears witness of Jesus Christ. In other words, He is equal to Jesus, but He's the one who draws you to the salvation that Jesus offers... I hate saying this, but it's like if each has a specialty... like if you had a role of being a father at home, as opposed to being a worker on the job... you're one person... one in the same, but different "aspects" of you do different things.

Three persons in One God. I start all prayer with this recognitions:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
