You can stop worrying now!

Worry never gets anything done. Worry causes you to run from prayer. Worry takes away hope in the greatest love. Worry gives you another drink. Worry divorces your wife. Worry runs away from home. Worry steals somebody else's hard earned money. Worry leaves you hopeless in a hopeful time.

Everyone has their fears and worries that cause them to go through situations that you normally would not go through. You could be freaking out about the shortage of money to take a trip, the grades you got in the mail or boss who hasn't even noticed you still work there. We have so much in our lives that can cause us to be stressful and just give up. I want to give you five important ways to get rid of that useless worry!

1. Pray
- With prayer, you are inviting angels into your worry war zone. Worry can't stand a chance against God's army and you shouldn't let it. Don't ever be afraid to just get down on your knees and ask God for help.

2. Act
- Don't just sit there and let the worry get to you. If worry had a face, I would tell you to slap it! Worry is just another way that Satan tries to alter your mind into thinking God isn't enough. When Satan throws worry in your face, smack it away and go on with more important things!

3. Make a List
- Open up your Word Document and start making a list of everything you are worried about and then start praying about it. By keeping up with this list, you are going to see exactly how easily and care free God can take care of the situation. This is your list so don't be ashamed to put down 100 things if you wish because you know it won't stay on the list for long!

4. Share
- Take to a close friend or friends about your situation or your struggles and let them help you. Let them tell you their experiences but make sure they are listening to you as well. This allows you to see that you are not alone in this and that God has blessed you with people in your life to help you.

5. Focus for Now
- You don't need to worry about tomorrow, the Lord will provide daily! Take each day as a step, stop trying to leap over into next week with your stresses and thoughts and just leave today as today!

"That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life -- whether you have enough" - Matthew 6:25
