Jesus…is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Romans 8:34
I dreaded the day my Grandmother would no longer be available to pray for me. She had stood as a spiritual rock my entire life. A doctor’s diagnosis and a brief illness brought me to the place I feared.
Fortunately, God already had a plan in place. During the years she interceded from her overstuffed chair, Jesus had also been interceding for me from the right hand of God. The Message translation explains it this way. The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Jesus is “sticking up for us” (Romans 8:34).
When finding our way in understanding and healing from narcissistic abuse, we also need someone covering us with intercessory prayer. Ask Jesus, your heavenly intercessor, to direct you to someone who is willing to spiritually walk with you through this wilderness experience. Their presence, as well as their prayers, will help stabilize your thoughts and emotions when the tidal waves of confusion and despair wash over you.
Father, thank you for providing Jesus as our intercessor. Guide us to the person You have equipped to be our earthly intercessor in this healing journey. As we find our way, begin equipping us to be able to do the same for another hurting brother or sister in Christ. Amen
