ACTS 23:11
The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said,
“Take courage!
As you have testified about me in Jerusalem,
so you must also testify in Rome.”

So even though Paul was been taken from prison to prison - he knew that the Lord had a plan and was in control

As Paul knew the Lord told him that he would get to Rome - he knew he was safe
