Day 14 of 14 · Overcoming Fear

For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

CONTEXT

Original word: Αββα (Abbâ) · father as a vocative

REFLECTION

Name the fear you carry today. Then read Romans 8:15 as if it were written to you.

PRAYER

God, when I am afraid, I will trust in you. Amen.
