What is holding you hostage, so that you cannot return to the Lord, your God?

My brothers and sisters in Christ, seek the Lord, be happy to know his ways, for the Lord is able to loosen the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to the let oppressed go free and to break every yoke. He is able to make your light break forth like the morning, and your righteousness to go before you. He will be your rear guard, and you shall call and he will answer, you shall cry and he will say, “Here I am.” Oh praise the Lord!
