Just like a snare is laid in the forest to catch a rabbit, an emotional snare can trip you up and hold you hostage. It’s frustrating and if you can’t get out of it, it can be crippling.
Maybe it is a small but strong string of hurt, fear, or unforgiveness wrapped around your heart that is tripping you up.
Maybe it was set by someone who was unkind.
Maybe it was something you inadvertently set up yourself when you made an inner vow to never trust again or never ask for help because you were rejected.
Psalms 25:15 says, “My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare.” (NIV)
There is a point in your life when you realize that God is the only one who can release you from a snare.
The one who hurt you, can’t heal you. You may think that if you hear the words, “I’m sorry,” you will be healed. Giving and receiving the words, “I’m sorry,” can pave the way to reconciliation but in truth, words are not what you need to be released. You don’t need an apology to be set free, you need your Father in heaven to heal your heart. You need His love and acceptance. You need His approval and grace. In Christ, you have it.
Where are you looking for healing?
Who are your eyes on?
If they are anywhere else but God, you will be disappointed and frustrated.
Look to the Father to release you from the snare that is holding you back.
Keep your eyes on Him.
He will release you from the snare and heal the wound it caused.
It will take time but you can trust that He is faithful to finish what He starts.

I have a question that isn’t relative to this. I want to know how do you begin a conversation with an agnostic person.? This maybe a good topic for pastor Cory to speak on.
Thank you for your time
