Evergreen: An Advent Podcast - Day 1 | Abba - Father

Today's Passage: Isaiah 63:16 For you are our Father,    though Abraham does not know us,    and Israel does not acknowledge us;you, O Lord, are our Father,    our Redeemer from of old is your name.Today's Prayer: Abba, Father – we come to you today so thankful for your nearness. We confess we need Father’s love. Set us as a seal upon Your heart and reveal to us how much we are sons and daughters with whom you are well pleased. Where there are places of wounding, we ask for healing. Where there are places we resist Your love, bring a softening that we might know you more as a Good Father.You know us personally and so we ask that You would speak words that bring hope and strength where hope and strength are needed. Speak words that bring rest and joy where rest and joy are needed. Speak encouragement and life where encouragement and life are needed.We thank you for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that allows us to cry “Abba, Father” and reminds us of our new identity in Christ.It is in Your name that we pray, Amen.For more information about this Advent season, visit our Christmas at Fellowship page.
