Inner Freedom

"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

— 2 Corinthians 3:17

God of freedom,

True freedom is not only external; it is first an inner freedom. Being free from my fears, from my unhealthy attachments, from others' opinions.

Free me from what imprisons me from within. From thoughts that limit me, beliefs that hold me back, fears that paralyze me. May I be truly free.

This inner freedom will allow me to make authentic choices, to live according to my values, to be fully myself. Freedom begins in the heart.

Amen.

Reflection

What do you need to free yourself from internally? What mental or emotional prison holds you?

For all those who seek inner freedom.
