Praise the Trinity
Our God—our one God—is three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
No, I don’t understand this either, but it is true. Why should I expect, as a human being, to comprehend the eternal, infinite God?
One God
Jesus: “The foremost [commandment] is, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord.” (Mark 12:29)
Here is God, Jesus, who prayed to God the Father, who spoke of God the Holy Spirit, declaring God is one.
See Praise the One God.
Three Persons
There are many verses in the New Testament that refer to the Trinity. For example:
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name [one name, singular] of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. (2 Corinthians 13:14)
According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure. (1 Peter 1:2)
Paul’s prayer, and mine for myself and for you:
I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:14–21)

Almighty, Triune God, we praise You. You are beyond our understanding, and yet You have chosen to reveal some of Yourself to us. We praise You for showing Yourself to us in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, helping us grasp some of Your majesty. Please help us worship You in spirit and in truth.
