How are you doing, Friend?
Worry is an automatic behavior for many people. It's an attempt to control something that cannot be controlled. Therefore, the more you worry, the more frustrated you'll become.
There is plenty in life that happens against our wills, so there is plenty of opportunity to worry. In our wisdom, we don't know what to try to prevent and what to allow. But God has perfect wisdom.
If worry is a behavior then it is also a choice. When a person is accustomed to worrying it might feel involuntary. That can happen when the belief system that allows worry is buried out of awareness.
Anxious worrying involves fear. What is worrying you? Is it more physical like health (fear of suffering) or finances (fear of powerlessness)? Maybe it is more personal like your worth (fear of rejection). Whatever it is, the underlying belief system has something to do with trust.
Ridding yourself of worry requires trusting God with the parts of life out of your control. The more you focus (without considering God) on what you can't control, the more anxious you'll become. The more you live in fear, the more discouraged you'll become.
