“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” (Phil. 4:6)

Cast it upon the Lord who will sustain you

“Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.” (Psalm 55:22 NASB) 

Commit it to the Lord and trust in Him to do what is needed

“Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.” (Psalm 37:5 NASB)

Do not worry about the future

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.” (Matt. 6:34 NIV)

“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” (Matt. 6:27

Therefore…

”Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT)

“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?  (Matt. 6:25-26 NLT)

Quotes:

“Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” - Corrie Ten Boom

“I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them have never happened.” - Mark Twain
