Hey friend — if you ever struggle with the word "Father," this short practice is for you. Breathe in, pray "Abba," breathe out, pray "I belong to you," and let the Spirit remind you you’re adopted, wanted, and deeply loved.

If you carry hurt from an earthly dad, try this gently: imagine Jesus holding your hand, forgive when you can, then come as you are and let God be your Abba. Listen, and spend a quiet, honest moment with the One who calls you beloved.
