Here are eight worry-stoppers, found in the letters of the word P-E-A-C-E-F-U-L:

Pray, first. “Casting the whole of your care upon Him…”

Easy, now. “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.”

Act on it. Be a doer, not a stewer.

Compile a worry list. Keep a list of things that trouble you. How many have turned into a reality?

Evaluate your worry categories. Pray specifically about them.

Focus on today. God meets daily needs daily.

Unleash a worry army. Ask a few loved ones to pray with you and for you.

Let God be enough. “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else.”

P-E-A-C-E-F-U-L. Peaceful!
