Worry is failing to trust God to take care of the various situations in our lives. When we worry, we are actually acting on the thought If I try hard enough, I can find a solution to my problem, which is the opposite of trusting God.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] MATTHEW 11:28

What we worry about frequently never happens anyway, and if it is going to happen, worrying won't prevent it. Worry does not make you escape your trouble; it only makes you unfit to deal with it when it comes. God is our help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
