When the laws and efforts of men place chains on us, the followers of Jesus Christ, and attempt to imprison our faith, do not lose heart, but know that while chains might constrain our bodies, the Word of God is not bound. This gives all those of faith the ability to love their enemies, and pray for the souls of the oppressors who stand against them. This allows us to obey our call the name of Christ, and worship God always. We should never lose faith when persecuted, or become disheartened when our prayers are prohibited in open forums. No, our prayers are heard always, even when our tongues are stilled by force, because the Word of God remains free, and we will praise Him even in our shackles.
