"...you received God's Spirit when He adopted you as His own children. Now we call Him, 'Abba, Father.'" (Romans 8:15)

In the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 7, Jesus taught His disciples, "Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened for you...You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! So, if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask Him."

Never forget, beloved, God is your Father—your heavenly Abba or Papa.

When you pray, Father listens. When you look for Father with your whole heart, you will find Him! (Jeremiah 29:12-13)

"The eternal God is your refuge, and [Father's] everlasting arms are under you." (Deuteromony 33:27)
