thank u all, my question really came from the concern of who to pray to? and i searched and found this:
When I need to address my prayers to my teacher, my savior, the one who’s walked on this earth and knows firsthand my struggles, then I pray to Jesus.
When I’m praising and worshipping, asking forgiveness and accepting grace, asking for guidance or praying for the needs of others, I usually pray to God.
Praying in the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit has a unique role in prayer. The Holy Spirit intercedes for us, helps us pray, and even prays for us when we don’t have the words.
Does this sound right?

First up, God is God. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. They are one yet appear in 3 forms and have different roles. I think of it like water. Ice, liquid water and water vapour have the same chemical composition. They can be present at the same time. Yet to us they appear different. It's not a perfect analogy because God is a Person, not a thing.

They are different entities with the same authority. Jesus was not praying to Himself when He hung on the cross or was in the wilderness and God was not talking to Himself when He said " This is My Son with whom I am well pleased." God the Father, the Almighty gave Jesus the Authority but Authority comes from the Father. The Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit of the Father, and all 3 have existed since the Creation of the world.I just finished reading the bible. i am a little confused, is God and jesus the same or are they different entities?
To avoid thinking the singular GOD has a split personality it is better maybe to say one GOD with three PERSONS in unity,We have God The Father, who is One with God the Son and God the Spirit, One God with three personalities in it. Father, Son And Holy Ghost.
