9. Develop an attitude of praise. It’s almost impossible for praise and worry to happen simultaneously so when you feel worry coming on, begin to praise the Lord. Say things out loud such as, “God, I praise you for your goodness. I praise you that you are in control and that you love me and want only good things for me. I praise you that you control the wind and the sea and that this problem facing me is nothing compared to your power and might.”

10. Remind yourself of God’s protection and provision in the past. One of the best ways to combat worry is to remember God’s faithfulness in your life. To help you do this more effectively, keep a journal where you write down stories of God’s goodness, care, provision, protection, etc. Reading it when you are worried will increase your faith and decrease your fear.
