And saying that they are two separate gods makes it less confusing? Then you beg the question, why did god #1 pray to god #2 unless one was inferior to the other and had to ask for help.  Or is that god #3 praying to god #2? Was god #3 praying to the Father? Or was He praying to the Holy Spirit?
My kids have had no problem at all understanding that the body that God dwelt in was human, felt pain and felt the need to pray.
