The Trinity is certainly one of the more confusing teachings in Christianity! Though the Bible never uses the word Trinity, it does contain numerous passages that tell us that there is one God who exists as three persons the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Old Testament teaches us that the Father is God, and then in the New Testament, we learn that the Son (Jesus) and the Spirit are also God (there are some references to the Son and Spirit in the Old Testament as well). Yet, in addition, there are many passages throughout the Bible that state that there is one God. Yes, this is confusing, I admit, but it is a core teaching of mainstream Christianity.

As for prayer, here is an article I hope you will find helpful:
