i know i do....for no reason at all....i have a pretty good job, about 20k in the bank....close 2 no debt....and im about 2 be married to the love of my life. i think i worry so much because i know everything i have could be taken away from me - but i know its all in my control. maybe i doubt myself sometimes....the worst part of my future is the unknown....im the type of person that HAS 2 know the outcome of a situation....i hate feeling helpless about any situation, and in life, u cant control everything...we need 2 remind ourselves that we are in control, the descitions we make dictate our everyday life....

Dude. Take a Xanax already. Do you know how many people in this country are one paycheck away from eviction? You are infinitely luckier than most of us (the working poor) so get over yourself.

Dear Friend,
The Bible teaches us Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
But the bible also has this lesson: Mark 10:17-25
The Rich Young Man
17As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
18"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone. 19You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.'[a]"
20"Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy."
21Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
22At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!"
24The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, "Children, how hard it is[b] to enter the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Money will never bring you happiness friend, and although getting into debt is not right either, holding onto money and worrying about it will only bring you sadness. Maybe there is a good use that you could put it to?
I have turned to Christ, and now follow himi used to worry about money and got myself into a lot of debt. I am now paying it all back and have very little, but on the other hand i have never been happier.
God bless.

All of us human beings worry about our future because we are not all-knowing.The more we gain knowledge, the more our worries will reduce. Some people are more confident if their knowledge is accepted by some powerful and wise sponsor. And most fortunate are people who attain the love and knowledge of the One True God and devotedly dedicate their all to the service in the Kingdom their heavenly Father.

Don't waste today worrying about tomorrow. Today is a blessing. Enjoy it. Tomorrow will care for itself.
No you can't always control everything in life. Trust God. He is in control and He will always be there for you. You have so much going for you. You should be happy. Ask God to rid you of your fears.

realise that you are too limited to control your life, let alone your future. all of us have an unknown future ahead of us and can be tempted to worry about it. but worry doesn't help.
instead i have learnt to pray about it and trust God, who loves me so much, that everything will be okay. thats why i can afford to be happy. live one day at a time and PLAN, not worry, for the future.

You need to believe in something that is greater than calamity. You need a bodyguard that is more powerful than the unknown future, able to rescue you from unpredictable events.

Put your hope and trust in Jesus Christ and you will never fear the future or anything else in this world. Everything on earth will pass away but the word of God shall never pass away.

Why worry about things that may not happen? You could get hit by a truck tomorrow and would have wasted all that energy.

You seem like you've got a good head on your shoulders. I wouldn't worry.
I believe I have actually been shown my future, & how it ends isn't all that pretty.
