Where this name appears
“For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” / He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.””
Romans 8:15, Mark 14:36 · World English Bible
The most intimate name for God — Daddy. Not a distant lord, but a Father who runs to His children.
Jesus prayed 'Abba' in His darkest hour in Gethsemane. The Spirit cries 'Abba' in us. Whatever your earthly father did or didn't give you, this Father runs to embrace you. He is not ashamed to be called yours.
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
Four small steps. Don't try to do all of them. Pick one. Do it today.
Don't summarize. Don't spiritualize. Use the words you would use if no one were listening. He is listening, and He is not shocked.
Healing is sometimes immediate. More often, it is companionship through the long road. Let Him sit with you today, even before the cure.
Drink water. Eat something nourishing. Sleep. Call the doctor you have been avoiding. Stewarding your body is an act of faith, not a lack of it.
Healing flows. Send the message. Leave the meal. Speak the kind word. Often the path of our own healing is paved by tending another's.
