Have years of worry sapped your strength? There's a fierce battle
going on where Satan would love nothing better than to gain control of
your mind. Constant worry leaves a person vulnerable to the enemy. It
saps your energy, leaving you feel completely drained.
Worrying is like a rocking chair: It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere. When I start to worry, I encourage myself with an old Sunday school song that reminds me what I really need to do—pray and trust!
Instead of worrying, invest that energy in praying and trusting God. Sing! Put on some godly worship music that carries you into God's Presence.
There's no need to despise this weakness towards worry. What Satan means for evil, God can use for good. Use it as a tool to draw closer to God. Whenever Satan tempts you to worry, recognize his tactics and see it as your constant need to create an intimacy with God that is well worth the effort.
Each time you flex your spiritual muscles, grabbing the fiery dart of worry that Satan hurls at you, you have an opportunity to strengthen yourself spiritually, by hurling that fiery dart straight back at Satan in the form of prayer, praise, song, worship or quoting Scripture—a mighty arsenal of powerful weapons of spiritual warfare.
Ask God to control your mind. He will bless you with peace in place of worry.

Why worry when you can pray?
Trust Jesus. He'll be your stay.
Don't be a Doubting Thomas.
Rest fully in His promise.
Why worry, worry, worry, worry
When you can pray!

Don't be a Doubting Thomas.
Rest fully in His promise.
Why worry, worry, worry, worry

because he trusteth in thee.
