Days of Praise ~ Abba Father

Foundation Scripture: Romans 8:14-17 "Those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory."

As Our Father…..

• You know everything there is to know about us. 
• You made us.
• You love us unimaginably.
• You always have your eyes on us.
• You make your face shine on us. 
• You bless us abundantly.
• You are blessed when we are a blessing. 
• You take especially good care of us. 
• We are the apple of your eye, even when we mess up. 
• We make you smile and laugh.
• You know best!

When we put ourselves in your shoes as though you were our parent... 

• We believe you want us to exercise our responsibilities. 
• You don’t want us to assume, but to ask. 
• If something needs to be done, and we know we need to do it, you just expect us to do it.

How do we show our love to Father God?

• Through the love languages of prayer, praise, intimacy, service, tithes and offerings, gifts, and quality time in your presence. 
• Through obedience to do the things you ask of us even when, sometimes, we really would rather not!
• By expressing our thankfulness and appreciation to you. 
• By purposing to be in the secret place with you.

We praise you for the way you show your love.  

• Your love language includes your sacrifice, salvation by grace, words of affirmation, intimacy, and gifts.
• You love, adopt, protect, provide, correct, instruct and bless us.

Jesus came to show us the Father. 

• We praise you for sending Jesus to reveal you as our Father! 
• We will follow Jesus’ example to honor you, look to you, and do what we see you do.

Abba Father, We praise you that you are our Heavenly Father! 

• We are so grateful for our personal, intimate relationship with you, which is superior to that of our earthly Fathers, whom we love dearly. 
• How amazing that Jesus Christ is the Son of his Father in heaven, and we are the sons and daughters of His Father! 
• We cannot truly comprehend it! 
• Just as Jesus did the will of his Father who sent him, we desire to do the will of you who sent us. 
• Thank you for drawing us to you. 
• You were the only one who could do that! 

Abba Father, you are our daddy, and we are your sons and daughters!
