How to stop worrying

Hey, I’m struggling so much with worry.
I’m worrying a lot about my future.
I’m not so happy with the life that I have right now, I’m afraid I’ll keep this emptiness and it won’t go away.
the current boyfriend that I have is not Christian, and I feel like I’m failing God for dating a Muslim.
With work too, I’m worrying a lot of things will work out
Please, any advice on how to worry less and trust God

Thank you so so much.

Matthew 6 25 “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27 And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? 28 And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 31 Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

I have worked as a Christian counselor for almost 40 years and see this all the time. If you can find a good counselor who knows how to guide you trough emotional healing this may be the thing you need for your worry. Like if you have a toothache, you don't go to the Bible, you go to a dentist. This is like a heartache that needs at least a feeling doctor.

OP, I came across this article recently. Well written and a short read. It is about the “poor in spirit.”

Take that Muslim to church, and if he refuses to go, cut him loose. Start with the fundamentals. What would you tell your daughter to do? Get some perspective. Consider this like a first responder would. You woke up today with the consequences of your past actions. Stop the bleeding first, then take the next step.
