Day 9: You Are a Child of God
“You received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’” — Romans 8:15
Adoption means belonging. It means you’re chosen, accepted, and given full access—not partial privileges. When God calls you His child, He’s offering a relationship.
Many people pray like outsiders, hoping God will listen. But the Word of God says you’ve been adopted into God’s family. When you were born again, you became His child. You don’t have to convince Him to care. He already does. You don’t have to earn His attention. You already have it.
In fact in John 17:23, Jesus is praying for all of us who would believe in Him. Look what He says at the end of that verse:
"you love them as much as you love me." (NLT)
God loves you as much as He loves Jesus. Most people wouldn't believe that if you told them. But Jesus said it about you!
When you forget you are His child and He loves you, prayer becomes timid. But when you remember who you are, prayer becomes bold. Not because you’re confident in yourself, but because you trust your Father’s heart.
Pray today as someone who belongs. Bring your needs honestly, knowing you are loved and welcomed.
Take a moment to reflect:
Where have you struggled to believe you truly belong to God?
