Have you ever been completely overwhelmed with worry? The kind of worry that sits in the bottom of your stomach and wakes you up at night? Probably not. Nobody struggles with worry, right? I think the only people who are susceptible to worry are the ones who have blood flowing in their veins and a brain in their heads. If that's you, I want to help you out a bit.

I recently had a worry that was really starting to get the better of me. I stewed and tried to figure it out. I lost sleep. I felt like I was sick. But I was able to come out the other end and here's how.

I prayed about it. I didn't just mention it. I poured my heart out to Yah. I told Him I didn't know how to fix it. I didn't understand. I needed His help. I needed to know what I should do. I left it at His feet.

I worked up the gumption to talk to my husband about it. Talking out loud about a problem accomplishes two things. First, the problem often seems much smaller when spoken out loud. Second, talking it out with someone like your husband can help you to work together to see if there are action steps or solutions. They may also have insight that helps you to understand better and worry less.

Once you have prayed and talked to someone (and I don't mean gossip), then you can take any action steps that have been shown to you. Sometimes we just need some clarification and understanding and the ability to do something.

Leave what you can't control at Yah's feet once again. Rinse and repeat.

Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere.
