On my way home and I received this inspiration. I pray it's encouraging to all who read and watch this.
"No More Chains" by Nicole Nordeman

Doesn't that sound lot like depression, locked down in chains waiting to be executed(commit suicide). Like everything tells you that your life is over and just a matter of time. The suffering is so much that you almost welcome death. Yet... God has other plans for you. Being chained up and sentenced to death was not part of it.
In verse 7 "Suddenly..." and the Lord showed up. God met Peter in the middle of his crisis, he put the guards to sleep, the chains fell off, and the angel lead Peter out of the prison.
I don't know what your going through, but God has a "Suddenly..." for you. He can meet you in the depths of your suffering, and help break the chains off you. To overcome the guards that are placed over you, and to break you free from your prison.
Peter goes on to do great things and gave his life for the truth. The same truth that set him free from the chains of bondage. God has so much more for your life than the misery you known. Don't allow yourself to become executed by your enemies... hold on to Jesus and let him set you free.

James was just killed and Simon Peter was arrested for standing up for Jesus, for the truth. Peter is placed in a secure prison, chained down, and surrounded by guards. The next day he was to be publicly executed. Peter was facing death, and was held down.
