HOW TO STOP WORRYING AND TRUST GOD

Life is a great blend of joys, comforts, and trials. Like happy days, we do get our set of challenging days that make us worried and upset.

Being concerned or worried is a normal and natural response to a calamity. However, staying stuck in negative and worrisome thoughts greatly impacts your current life, personality, and relationships.

The key point is keeping a balance between thinking about the areas of concern and working on them is faith in God’s mercy. Therefore, it is useless to stay stuck in the phase of upsetting thoughts and you must develop faith in God who will ultimately take care of all your concerns.

How can you do that like a pro? Let me tell you some of the promising ways one by one:

DETACH YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM THE WORLD AND PEOPLE

Believe it or not, a whole bunch of your worries is a result of your expectations from others and the world in general. You are always on the lookout for someone to come and become your Good Samaritan.

In the real world, this never happens. You need to rely on God fully and then on your own abilities. 

This leads to helping you develop self-control and focus on improving every single day.  Be it your profession, personal life, or day-to-day problems, this single quality helps in relieving you of the undue thoughts of looking up to others for your solutions.

If developed, the outcomes of this step will make you an achiever and you will stop worrying unnecessarily as the reins would finally be in your hands.

It is only God who has unconditional love for man and who would reward you for your grit and dedication. Therefore, come out of this perception that people will help you out when things go south and adopt the realistic approach of relying on God and your own abilities only.

STAY FOCUSED ON WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN THE END

Ask yourself, why something has been bothering you so much. In the end, the most important thing is your devotion and loyalty toward God.

We all go through traumatic situations and uncomfortable days, but it is how we deal with those situations that count.

What matters the most is how much you tried, how resilient you remained, and what you learned to till the end. Indeed, it is God who has to decide eventually so remember, people and their pressures are nothing before the bigger goal you have in front of you.

The bigger aim of pleasing God should be in your mind. We tend to worry about things that are not in our control.

So, it is an essential point to learn and remember that staying focused on what matters the most at the end of the day is the skill that ensures your success and mental tranquility.

When you have this major point in mind, the unnecessary worries will vanish altogether.

INTOSPECT AND QUESTION YOURSELF

A brilliant practice in times of anxiety is to pray and ask God to take the anxiety away from you. Many times, when people do this, they find the solution to their worries.

How do you find the solutions? By praying and having faith and believing that what you prayed about will actually happen.

A lot of times we pray about things and just because we prayed about it we expect it to happen overnight or right when we want it to happen and when it doesn't, we start questioning and wondering if it is going to happen at all.

You might find yourself doing the same thing that you did over again and increase your worries, but if you stick to what you believe in like praying, and forget about it, you will see your solution quicker.

Most importantly, you will learn that the ultimate power lies with God and He can never let you be harmed or distraught so if something is not working out, choose to believe in God’s mercy and stay stress-free.

Remember, God has endowed you with this beautiful mind that can help you identify the root cause and get relief from harrowing thoughts. So, always introspect first before giving up on the solution.

CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS AND DO YOUR BEST

Your mind is your territory where you can nurture the kind of thoughts you wish to have. If you harness a negative mind and think with negative thoughts, nothing will turn out to be good for you.

Develop a growth mindset that tells you that things can work out at any moment if you have a strong conviction and the urge to push till the end.

You need to train your mind to think of positive and constructive thoughts and filter out all the negativity, and toxicity. So, the point is to “control your thoughts before they control you.”

Always trusting God in all types of situations should be the training you provide to your brain. If this is done smartly, the stresses and distress will go away naturally.

Remember this famous saying. “Do your best and God will do the rest.” If you feel it, it is quite an empowering thought.

REMEMBER WHO HAS THE ABSOLUTE CONTROL

This is indeed the crux of this discussion. When worries try to pull you down, think of how to trust God and not worry about everything in this world. Nothing around us can harm or hurt us without God’s consent.

When your faith bounces back and reminds you of God’s glory, your worries vanish away, and confidence replaces them. This relentless belief in God and his mercy make you feel instantly relieved and feel empowered and energetic again.

It is more like handing your pile of worries into God’s hands and heading toward your peaceful sleep. This matters a lot because it reassures you and makes you a better person and thus improves your life as well.

CONCLUSION

Being concerned about the issues of your life and staying worried is a natural response, but when you stagnate in such thinking, your growth, mental peace, and relationships are adversely affected. In situations like this, just pray, and when you pray, just say God, help me not to worry.

You must devote your energies to stop worrying unnecessarily and trust God for He will sort everything out in the end.
