Many believe Jesus Christ is God and that he is part of some three-headed godship/entity. If that were so, then why would he need to pray at all if he was God?

Jesus is not God.
John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Ephesians 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Jesus didn't know the divine mystery. If Jesus had been God, John 4:22 would have been a lie, and God can not lie.
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
The trinity doctrine contradicts those verses. That is why churches that teach the trinity discourage studying the bible, declaring that church tradition is of higher authority than the word of God.
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
You can check for yourself: everything God does, He does by speaking it. So verse 1 has no confusion until trinity believers inject it there.
What is a word? We have the spoken word, but that is not God. We have the written word, but that is not God. We have the word made flesh, so by what authority do you take that word out of context and declare that is God when the other two are not?
Verse 3 contains a pronoun, him. A pronoun refers to the last preceding qualified noun, and that is God. The bible uses many names for God, but it is never so sloppy to say one name when it means another. Adonai is my shepherd, not YHVH. YHVH gave the law, not elohim. Elohim is the creator, not Jesus.
