G - et into God's Word
Matthew 6:25-34
' "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.'

How often do we worry?
What are those we worry about?
Yes, we can't avoid worrying, especially at times of hardship, trouble, and circumstances.
Jesus ask also an interesting question about worry. "Can anyone by worrying add a single hour of your life? "(v.27). Perhaps this helps us rethink our tendency to worry because it suggests that it doesn't help the situation we're concerned about.
These verses in Matthew 6 taught us that worrying doesn't give any good things in our life but we can turn our worry into God who can give us guidance and confidence to trust Him.
O - bey to transform
In every problem or situation, we feel we are about to worry, at the start we can pray and ask God to guide us in our decision and trust that He will act on our behalf.
As a famous quotation says, "PRAY MORE WORRY LESS"
W - restle in Prayer
Ask God for confidence to trust Him. So that in every situation we may face worry, we can focus on Him in prayer for trusting not worrying.
As King David also faced difficulties and worries, he concluded it in Psalm 55:22 "Cast your cares on the Lord, He will sustain you."
That's the great alternative to our worry!
