Restore: A 10-Day Devotional Journeyಮಾದರಿ

Abba

Fear has a way of sneaking in and trying to tell us who we are. It reminds us of our failures, labels us by our past, and whispers lies about our worth. But Romans 8 reminds us of a greater truth, we are not slaves. We are sons. We are daughters. We’ve been adopted by God Himself.

This spiritual adoption isn’t symbolic; it’s real. Legal. Eternal. And with it comes a new voice rising from within us: “Abba, Father.” That cry isn’t rooted in insecurity. It’s born from identity.

When you know who your Father is, you begin to live differently. You stop striving for acceptance and start living from it. You stop performing for approval and start resting in love. You stop reacting out of fear and start responding in faith.

Calling God “Abba” is not about feelings; it’s about alignment. It’s about declaring, “I know who I belong to.” Even when life comes at you, you don’t go back to fear, you go back to the Father.

Today, remember this: you are not a spiritual orphan. You don’t have to earn your place. You’ve been chosen, called, and adopted. That’s your identity. That’s your security. That’s your song.

Reflection: Where in your life have you been reacting out of fear instead of living from your identity as God’s child? Declare today: I am a son/daughter.

Prayer: Abba Father, silence the lies that tell me I’m not enough. Replace fear with the confidence of sonship. Help me to walk in my identity and trust that I am held by You. Thank You for calling me Your own. I am safe in Your love. Amen.
