I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.” Psalm 43:4 NIV GRATEFUL MEMORY WHEN WE ARE IN BAD CIRCUMSTANCES (Pic of Macedonia map and image) Acts 16 (NIV) 23 They were severely beaten, and then they were thrown into prison. The jailer was ordered to make sure they didn’t escape. 24 So the jailer put them into the inner dungeon and clamped their feet in the stocks.

26 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.

34 The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household.

Philippians 4:4-8 (NIV) 4 Rejoice (Celebrate, be full of joy) in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
