Actually, we believe that their are three beings in one, Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.  How that happens to be is one of the wonderful
mysteries of God.  It is not necessary that we can comprehend infinity
to give it definition, so too for God and the Trinity.  Moses in the
Old Testament and John in the New Testament attest to the extreme
difficulty they had at looking upon the face of God.  This is where
true faith comes in, you haven't seen it and would be very hard
pressed to prove God's/Jesus's existance by normal physical means.
Your mind says "no" but your heart says "yes, absolutely."

In reality, praying is a conversation with God, so see, you do believe.
