“If the Trinity is what the church says it is, then the intercession of the Son and the Spirit is no less than the “Self-talk of God”. These are intimate conversations with the divine desire for the good of all mankind, the desire that none perish, but all come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). There is a desire that we will overcome in our hour of testing; there is a desire that all of the bad in our lives be turned around to become good and serve good.” (From “The Self-Talk of God”, by H. Lamar Smith).
“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God” Romans 8:26-27 (NRSV).
