Devotional Reflection
The sounds "ab, ab, ba, ba" are often the first words that babies say. In Jesus' time, that was the name that babies gave to their fathers. God gave us His Spirit when He saved us. One of the most important ways the Holy Spirit blesses us is by helping us pray. He prays for us when words won't do (Romans 8:26–27), and when we call God "Abba," He helps us feel like we know, depend on, and respect Him.
Prayer
Thank you so much, Abba Father, for loving me, saving me, and letting me join your family. Thank you for the Holy Spirit, who is helping me right now as I tell you what I'm thinking, saying, and feeling. Thank you, dear Father, for giving me the power to be the person you want me to be. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
