Worry should not be an attitude or a condition or a lifestyle.  Worry should not be an uncontrollable behavior that prevents us from finding peace.  Worry should be a flashing light and blaring siren that has one function - it alerts us to the value that we place on something in our life and our feeling of inadequacy to properly deal with that something in that moment of time.  Once alerted, our attention should then move away from the loud noise and bright lights and turn to controlling what we can control in the situation and then pray about those things that we have no control over.
