Teenager's!! What is Bondage?

Have you ever felt like something had a hold on you—like no matter how much you tried, you couldn’t break free? Maybe it’s a habit you know isn’t right, but it feels too hard to stop. It could be spending hours scrolling through social media, even when it drains your peace. Or maybe it’s the pressure to fit in, leading you to say or do things you know don’t honor God. These things might seem small at first, but over time, they can quietly take control, pulling you further away from the freedom Christ offers. The Bible says in 2 Peter 2:19, "...for people are slaves to whatever has mastered them." Anything that masters you—whether it’s a thought, a behavior, or a relationship—can become a form of bondage.

The hard part is, sometimes we don’t even realize we’re in bondage because the world normalizes these struggles. Everyone gossips a little, right? Everyone hides the truth sometimes. But God wants more for you. He created you for freedom—not to be trapped by things that steal your joy and peace. And the truth is, the longer you stay under the weight of something, the harder it can feel to break free. But here’s the good news: If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed (John 8:36). Real freedom doesn’t come from trying harder—it comes from letting Jesus take the weight off your shoulders. What would it look like for you to invite Him into the areas where you feel stuck?

Take a moment to be honest with yourself—are there things in your life controlling you more than God does? Is there a habit you feel powerless to stop or a thought that keeps you trapped in fear or insecurity? God isn’t standing far away, waiting to judge you—He’s right here, ready to walk with you toward freedom. You don’t have to stay in bondage. The same Jesus who broke the power of sin and death can break anything holding you back. Will you trust Him with those hidden struggles today?
