The Names of God - Abba

Abba
Romans 8:15 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." Abba, a term of simple affection is an Aramaic word for Father, found also in Mark 14:36 and Galatians 4:6. Close to a personal name, in comparison to Father, with which it is always joined in the New Testament. Father expresses an intelligent understanding of the relationship. The two together express the love and intelligence and confidence of the child. Slaves were not permitted to use this term in addressing the head of the family.

Abba, Father in heaven, with a grateful heart, I want to thank you that I am a child of the Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth. I am no longer a slave to Satan anymore. Thank you for delivering me from the bondage of sins. As your child, I am glad that I can live a victorious Christian life with all the guidance and power that you have made available.
