Here are several scriptures that speak to me and tell me what I need to do. Its funny but in reading these verses over and over again I see that they are full of verbs - actions words - things that I need to work on.
Be strong, take courage, wait, reverently and worshipfully fear God, wait patiently for it, and be joyful in hope.
"Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for and hope for and expect the Lord!" Psalm 31:24
"Those who reverently and worshipfully fear You will see me and be glad, because I have hoped in Your word and tarried for it." Psalm 119:74
"But those who wait on the LORD will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
"But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." Romans 8:24, 25
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12
For the past several weeks my Pastor has been preaching on this verse:
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

That is a GREAT reminder.
I believe, I trust that God will give me a peace when I trust him to take my worries and concerns. And when I don't feel peaceful I will not worry, I will just keep telling myself that God is in control and I will 'Take captive EVERY thought to make it obedient to Christ.' (2 Corinthians 10:5).
Thank you God for you give us everything we need for life.
