From Fear to Family
Empowered: The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer devotional series
“For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, ‘Abba! Father!’” — Romans 8:15 (NASB1995)
You are not a slave to fear. You are not under the bondage of your past, your failures, or the expectations of others. The Holy Spirit reminds you of this truth—you are adopted. Loved. Safe.
You’ve been brought into a family where you can cry out, “Abba! Father!” with childlike trust and reverence. That cry isn’t just a word—it’s a deep connection. You belong.
Reflection:
What areas of fear still try to enslave you? What would it look like to cry “Abba” in that space?
Prayer:
Abba Father, thank You for adopting me into Your family. Replace my fears with trust, and let Your Spirit confirm again that I belong to You. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
