In this meditation, we look at the ways we are bound mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and how a deeper connection to Jesus can release us from our bonds that keep us from God. Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit, who dwells within us, who can release us from all bondage if we only ask. This meditation brings us in closer communion with Christ through the gift of His Spirit and helps us to turn to the Holy Spirit, freeing us from our bondage and allowing us to soar spiritually.Invocation of the Holy Spirit:"Holy Spirit, I welcome you. Come and meet me here. Open my eyes to see what you have already done for me. Let me breathe in the freedom you offer.""Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."-Corinthians 3:17
