Chains be broken, lives be healed

"And the crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas. Then the officials tore the clothes off Paul and Silas and ordered them to be whipped. After a severe beating, they were thrown into jail, and the jailer was ordered to lock them up tight. Upon receiving this order, the jailer threw them into the inner cell and fastened their feet between heavy blocks of wood.

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a violent earthquake, which shook the prison to its foundations. At once all the doors opened, and the chains fell off all the prisoners.“
{Acts 16:22-26}

When you're in a situation where it feels like you're locked up and your spirit is so heavy, as like feet fastened to heavy blocks. And you can't go anywhere and you feel so stuck. Sing to the Lord a new song - praise Him in all His glory. And God can shake your situation. He can move the foundations of your prison. He can open up the doors that couldn't be opened.

At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.
