We are accustomed to saying, “Jesus is interceding for us”; we also say, “The Spirit is praying for us”. The implications of what that means may escape us. We must let its truth grip us. We are not accustomed to saying, “God is praying for us”; it sounds too shocking. But, in fact, that is the very thing that is happening. We believe in the Trinity. We believe that the Father, Son and Spirit are One God. So if there is any praying going on between the Three, then God is praying for us. It is God speaking to God on our behalf and in our interest. It is mind-boggling, humbling, and gratifying. -From “The Self-Talk of God” by H. Lamar Smith

A Note to my Readers. Today Is the launch day for my new book “The Self-Talk of God”. It is different than any of my previous book. Go to the link below and look at the reviews. Consider buying a copy today or giving one to a friend. The Kindle version will be on sale the rest of the week.
Here is the Book Description: “This book is about the inspiration of knowing a God who prays and weeps, a God who is on your side and is for you. The God, who is Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God, has conversations about you, where you are, and your plight. It is about a God who is deeply touched with the pain of His creatures. Since the Spirit and the Son intercede for us, we are invited to join our prayers with the desires of God, desiring for ourselves and those around us what God desires.”
