The second reason is that right after this verse; the jailer turns his life over to Christ!
The jailer called for lights and ran to the dungeon and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Acts 16: 29-30 (NLT)
The jailer called for the lights. No longer wanting to live in the darkness he was walking in, he asks Paul and Silas what he must do to be saved. Beloved, whatever it is that you find yourself worrying about today or in the future God is bigger. Praising Him will usher His presence into your life and your situation where you can find fullness of joy. Praying will strengthen your faith, destroying your worry and the schemes of the enemy. As you develop a lifestyle of praise and prayer in response to trials and worry you will begin to affect those around you who walk in the darkness of this world. They will see what you have and want it. They will call for the lights and ask you what they need to do to be saved. THAT is turning worry into faith.
