Our most natural approach to God in prayer is as Our Heavenly Father, because Jesus instructed us to pray that way (Luke 11:2). Paul added, “ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15). Abba is a term of endearment, like daddy. Father is a term of authority showing position and priority. We are attracted to pray because He is our Father. Not only has He given us the gift of salvation through Christ, but He has given us the gift of the Holy Spirit as our New Covenant birthright. “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?” (Luke 11:13 KJV).
