Rather...

Romans 8:15

The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.  And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

Look at the progression here. 

Perhaps when we first hear of God or dare to enter his presence in prayer, we cry because of all of our sin, our distress, our needs, etc.  And he is faithful to hear us.  And we are a bit fearful, but at the same time hopeful, that he will come and help us.

But as we walk with him, learn of him, and experience him daily in our lives, we begin to realize that we are his children.  And our cry changes.  It’s a cry of delight at the realization that we belong to him and have that relationship with him, one of father/daughter or father/son.

Think of the difference between a son crying in fear because he knows he has disobeyed his father and is awaiting his consequence…and a son crying in adoration and love at his father’s appearance after a disappointment or a defeat and he runs into His arms.

Cry out to your Father, but cry out in delight and adoration for all that He is and all that you are in his sight.
