Day 3: The Prison Within
Devotional: You don't need physical bars to be imprisoned. Many people live in prisons constructed in their minds—built by fear, shame, addiction, bitterness, or past trauma. Jesus declared His mission was to "proclaim liberty to the captives" and "set at liberty those who are oppressed." This includes the inner captivity that keeps you bound even when you're physically free. The King is riding into your mental and emotional prison today, not to condemn you for being there, but to set you free. He's not afraid of your mess, your past, or your struggles. In fact, He's moving directly toward the very things you think would make Him stay away. The question isn't whether He can free you—it's whether you'll let Him in.
Reflection: What inner prison are you living in? What thoughts, fears, or patterns keep you enslaved? Will you open the door and let the King enter today?
