This is a childlike poem out of my first poetry book called Waves of Comfort still available on Amazon. it is on page 25 of 270 page book. We have a wonderful heavenly Father that is not only loving but also so very patient with us. He is our Abba Father ( our Daddy God!)

Probably my lack of a Father’s love as a child made it a lot harder to understand the great love of my heavenly Father.  I would find myself afraid every time I failed of His judgment falling like the hard rod I experienced from my earthly stepfather.
However, God is kind and gentle in His correction.  I love Him and want to please Him with all my heart.  The old sinful nature is constantly at war with my new walk.  I found early on that I needed to learn to repent.  My heavenly Father was and is still so patient with me.  I have learned that this is the love of my Abba Father… my daddy God.

Daddy I’m Hurting

Like a little child I come and pray:
Abba Father, I am hurting please take my pain away.
I know I have been foolish and not the way I should,
Daddy, help me to be good.
May I sit on your lap and rest awhile,
So I can feel the sunshine of your smile?
May I snuggle closer into your sweet care,
So You will comfort me and Your encouragement share?
I need to hide awhile in a safe shelter from the mighty winds that blow,
For sometimes I am uncovered in a world that is harsh and cold.
I need to draw Your strength and to be reassured
That our love is intact and in You I am secure.
Chase away all the doubts and fears so they will not stay.
Thank You for being with me every day.
Wrap Your arms around me Lord, and my confidence will increase
As You administer to my aching soul new abiding peace.
Thank You, my Lord, for dwelling my heart within,
So we can meet like this in prayer so I will be strong again.

Romans 8:15
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
