Acts 16:25-26 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.
Paul and Silas were arrested for preaching the gospel of Jesus. While in the prison, they weren't crying and writing letters to mom. First, they prayed, then they sang songs to God. Then the doors were opened and their chains were loosened. What an awesome experience that must have been. I think that what ever negative situation we may be in, we need to humble ourselves and pray. Then, even though we may still be in that situation, we need to sing praises to God. Like the three who were going to be thrown into the fire said," My God will deliver us. Even if He doesn't, we will still not bow down to your idols!" If God doesn't fling those doors open right away, keep on praising any way. Don't bow down to the devil, he wants you to lose your trust in God. Don't do it! You will see God's hand upon you, and those chains will begin to loosen.
