Delivery from bondage in these days is different from Book of Mormon times but the same principles apply. Our bondage could be mental, emotional or physical bondage.
We might be in debt. We might have been traumatized when we were young. These things bring bondage upon us. What is the best way to get out of bondage? Can the Lord really help us when we bring bondage upon ourselves? Can he help us when we were mentally or emotionally placed in bondage by others? Below is a good recipee from the scriptures. In Mosial 7:33 it says,
But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind, if ye do this, he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage.
First, we turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart. We make adjustments in lives to walk in humility before God - no faking it! We then serve him with all diligence of mind. Keep focused on your godly walk among the children of men. In time the Lord will deliver you from bondage!
Mosiah 29:20 we read, But behold, he did deliver them because they did humble themselves before him; and because they cried mightily unto him he did deliver them out of bondage; and thus doth the Lord work with his power in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him.
Here we read that we need to humble ourselves before God and cry mightly unto him. Anyone who puts his trust in the Lord will always be delivered out of bondage.
