How to win over worry ?

1) List down all your worries, and find out what is the possibility that they will happen.
2) Count your blessings.
" I had the blues because I had no shoes. Until upon the street I met a man who had no feet"
3) Care for others instead of only mining one's own bussiness. (practice altruism)

4) Live one day at a time.
" Let not the griefs of the past and worries of the future spoilt your day"
" So do not worry about tommorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings" Matthew 6: 34

5) Trust in the LORD with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the LORD in everything you do, and he will show you the right way Proverbs 3: 5-6

6) " I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me; he freed me from all my fears. "Psalm 34: 4
" Don't worry over anything whatsoever; tell God every detail of your needs in earnest and thankful prayer, and the peace of God, which transcends human understanding, will keep constant guard over your hearts and minds as they rest in Christ Jesus. philippians 4: 6

7) Worry will not bring you any benefits, most of the time,it worsen your health and confuse your mind necessary for making good judgements .
" A happy heart is a good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries the bones "Prov. 17:12
8) Trust in the words of God and hold fast to the promise. If you worry, you make God a liar.
9) We think and plan and thought that we are very clever or can make good conclusions through logic thinking. But the future lies in the hands of God.
10) If there is a reason for worrying, you should be worrying everyday, because you never know whether you will live to see the sun of tomorrow. If you worry beside this one, you are thinking that you can live 100 years old.
11) Find out what are your worries; if there is nothing that we can do about it , worry will only make the matter worse. If you can do something about it, by all mean, so something to improve it.
12) Find out what is the most important thing in your life. Is the thing that you keep worrying that important to you so that you keep concentrating on it ?
13) The process of worrying is more energy draining or distressing than the actual happening. Even the problem is serious as what we anticipate, we can still rely on God to help us.
14) Focus on solutions instead of the problem; Focus on the greatness of God instead of the serious of the problem
" You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind is stayed on You." Isaiah 26: 3
"And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will show to you today"--Exodus 14:13
"And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm." --Matthew 8:26
15) Practice surrender and relax
" Leave all your worries with him, because he cares for you" 1 Peter 5: 7
" Give yourself to the Lord; trust in him, and he will help you" Psalm 37: 5
16)Follow the will of God.
'For God did not give us a spirit of timidlity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline" 2Tim 1:7
