MUSIC FOR DAY 25: IN YOUR EMBRACE

PRAYER

My Everlasting Father in heaven, I love You. You are Father to the fatherless, and You are the only perfect Father. You are never distant, absent, or apathetic.

Thank You for Your welcoming embrace and for the right to be Your child and co-heir with Christ, so I may cry out, "Abba Father."

Forgive me when I am like the prodigal son who wanders and squanders what his father has given him. Forgive me also when I am like the other son who resents his father for blessing the undeserving. Forgive me for not understanding Your heart.

I desperately need a greater revelation of Your Fatherly love; I genuinely want to love You the way Jesus does and to have true intimacy with You.

Because You are my Everlasting Father, I declare I am Your child, eternally and unconditionally loved and accepted.

A FEW FACTS…

• Avi'ad (אֲבִיעַ֖ד) combines the root ad (עַד) meaning "eternal" or "forever" with the root av (אָב) meaning "father”.
• Avi'ad, found in Isaiah 9:6, is a component of a fourfold prophetic name attributed to Jesus. This Messianic prophecy foretells the birth of Jesus and emphasizes His divine nature and eternal reign as the Messiah.
• While the Bible often refers to Jesus as the Son of God, Isaiah 9:6 reveals a deeper nature, depicting Him as the "Everlasting Father." This highlights His transcendence beyond the familiar role of a son, embodying paternal qualities. Jesus embodies both the aspects of "son" and "father."
• Avi'ad is commonly translated as "Everlasting Father" or "Eternal Father," and in some versions as "Father of Eternity" or "My Father of Eternity“.

SMILE & BREATHE

In a quiet space, find a comfortable seat. Take a moment to stretch, releasing muscle tension.

Smile, knowing the perfect Father loves you deeply and fully accepts you.

Inhale deeply through your nose, as if drawing in His love, feeling your abdomen expand.

Hold your breath for a few seconds, savoring this beautiful moment in His presence.

Gently exhale through your mouth, releasing any feelings of loneliness, of not being loved, or not being appreciated.

Repeat as desired, aiming for deeper breaths each time.
