For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." Romans 8:15
I am so tired of being afraid. For much of my life, I have been a slave to fear. How easily I forget that I have received a Spirit of sonship. The next time I sense that sin is watching - the next time I find myself face to face with temptation, I need to remember these words: "My Dad is bigger than your dad; He can take your dad any day!"
Lord, when sin reaches out to introduce himself to me, I too often find myself trembling in fear. Alone, I am too weak to fight it. But I know You are with me. Give me the confidence to say, "You don't own me!" I belong to You, Father. Hold me close. Fight the battles for me. Help me to see victory in this life!
