Breaking Free

There are times we may feel like we are in chains - trapped or bound by things in our life like worry, fears, doubt, weariness, etc. I have been fighting battles with prayer and worship music lately to overcome worry and this lack of motivation I have been having. When I have an anxious mind I play “Surrounded,” by Michael W. Smith. It is one of my favorites songs to play! I just begin to fight the battle of worry by a prayer and playing worship music. Breaking free with Jesus!

Paul and Silas were sitting in prison. They had been flogged and chained with a guard watching over them. They were praying and singing hymns and a violent earthquake happened and the foundations of the prison were shaken – prison doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.

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 (NIV).

There is power in prayer and power in praising God – God set them free!

I am breaking free!

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for helping us to break free! I pray that You will help the chains of come off today! I praise Your holy name Lord! In Jesus’ Name I Pray, Amen.
