My praise breaks chains

“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 16:24-26

Decided to listen to Steven furtick's sermon and what I took away was my praise breaks chains.

If I was Paul or Silas, I would have give up as I would feel forgotten. They were preaching and spreading the gospel and yet they were thrown to jail. However, they did not let their current situation to destroy them. Though their feet were between heavy blocks of wood and their bodies were full of scars, they lift up their hands and praise God. And because of their praise, their chains were broken. Likewise, I'm not gonna let my chains destroy my praise but I'm gonna continue to shout His praise even when it hurts. Time is all I need. Time will show. And when I look back, it's all worth it.
