The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
(Romans 8:15 NIV)
I know someone who always begins their prayers with “Abba,” a word that I’ve adopted in my own prayers as well. Abba is an Aramaic word that means “Father,” the equivalent of our modern word “Daddy.” As God’s children, we have the awesome privillege of calling Him Daddy. Yes, He is holy and powerful, but at the same time, He is also our Daddy. In fact, Jesus taught His disciples (and us) to address God as “Our Father” (Matthew 6:9). I love to approach God as my Daddy, and I encourage you to do the same.
