Okay, so recently I had been having confusing thoughts about the difference between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Like, who are you praying to when you say Lord? Or, which is better to go to? Well, as I talked to Ketric about it, He told me to go to the Holy Spirit for guidance. So, I did and I was like "H.S., please show me what I need to do to understand the differences." And all I got was "Go READ THE WORD!"
So, I did, and this is what I stumbled upon.
Hebrews 2:14-15
14-15Since the children are made of flesh and blood, it's logical that the Savior took on flesh and blood in order to rescue them by his death. By embracing death, taking it into himself, he destroyed the Devil's hold on death and freed all who cower through life, scared to death of death.
Here's the realization.
Holy Spirit-Go to Lord for guidance. The Holy Spirit is what rose from the dead when Jesus was gone 3 days after He was crucified. So, it still has all the memories and what not of the experiences He had on Earth as a human. Jesus had to come to the earth, so that He could experience life like us humans do, but the difference is when all that temptation came up, He CONQUERED it. So when you say Jesus is in you, you mean the Holy Spirit. Well, if Jesus (also the Holy Spirit) conquered the temptation and He's REALLY in you, then why can't you? So basically, when you're praying for guidance and answers, the Holy Spirit is the "Go to Lord" (as Ketric said earlier.)
Jesus- Jesus was the Holy Spirit in human form basically. He lived on the earth and experienced what we experience every day. I am praying to Him when I basically thank Him for dieing on the cross. But mainly, my worship is for Him.
God- God is mainly the worship lover ;]. Without Him, there would be no earth, no humans, and no Jesus which = no love. I love to thank Him for everything! Making things work out the way they did, creating people, bringing people into my life, He's got all that covered up there. Mainly, worship is about Him as well!
So I can only hope that my realization can maybe clear some things up for you. All three forms of the Lord are JUST as important, you just go to them and spend time with each for maybe different reasons. Woo!

SWEEEEET!!! ba da da daa da! im lovin' it!
and it makes sense!!!
I've always wondered that too, but I never sought out anyone to ask. Great post! I'll have something to think sbout when I pray before I go to bed! Thanks Alec!
A-L-E-C!
Yay! No more confusion :) and that makes total sense. Man, sometimes I get that stupid feeling when I have so many questions and then someone tells me to read the bible and I do and there are all the answers. It's like "oh.. thats what this is for."
Again, God is laughing to himself :)
hmmmm...I'll have to think about this one a little more....
It's like you - you are a son, a grandson and a friend. But you are all Alec.
However, God did not "become" the Son and then the Holy Spirit. They have ALL always existed.
Look at Deut. 6:4 - And Col.2:9
And Is.45:21-22
And Eph. 2:18 talks about how we come to the Father, through Jesus and in the Holy Spirit. (which boggles my mind!)
And John 4:24
so while there are 3 distinct Persons, they are all 100% God.
So glad you are searching!
Just my opinion ;)
I love the point that robin made. What you said is all true and what robin said is all true. I think as humans we want to know all these answers and then God gives them to us and then because we are human we can't fully understand and wrap our minds around the concepts. We are in a silly cycle, but it's good that you are digging deeper to uncover more of His truth.
