When you hear the word “father” what emotions come to the surface? Protection? Love? Acceptance? Or instead, do you feel fear, condemnation, and worthlessness? If so, you have yet to experience the fullness of your adoption into the family of God. Right now, the world is filled with dread, anxiety, and panic. Sometimes it feels like everything we have trusted in is in doubt. This is the perfect time to pursue your relationship with God. Nothing can replace the peace you have as a believer, knowing that God is good. He loves you and desires the best for you. Problems don’t have to rule you when you build a relationship with your Father through prayer. You can rise above the storms in your life because you belong to God’s kingdom which cannot be shaken.

Bible Reading

Romans 8:12-15 NIV
Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 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.”
