“Praise Pause” is a 30-day Daily Devotional that will help us to pause and praise God daily by using one of His many names.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Praise His Name: ABBA, FATHER<\/strong><\/span>
\nFor you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”<\/em> Romans 8:15 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:<\/span><\/strong>
\nBelievers, today let’s pause to praise God that we do not have to live in bondage to fear.
\nFor, The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,<\/em> Romans 8:16 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

Because we are God’s children, we do not have to live in fear of anything.
\nAnd because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, \u201cAbba, Father.<\/em>\u201d Galatians 4:6 (NLT)<\/p>\n

Today’s Praise Pause:<\/strong><\/span>
\nAbba Father is a name that is personal and meaningful, it would be used in an intimate, loving way, such as a son or daughter crying out “Father, my Father”.
\nIt is a name that speaks love and care. It is a name that a child calls in time of trouble or need.<\/p>\n

Therefore, as a believer, a child, a son, a daughter, of You God, Abba, Father, I praise You. I cry out to You. I give thanks to You.
\nI praise You, Abba Father, that I am Your child and that I have no need to live in fear for I can call upon You, anytime day or night wherever I am, and You will be there for me.
\nI give You thanks and praise today for this, my Abba, Father.\u00a0 in Jesus’ name. Amen<\/p>\n
