So I may be assuming when I say this, but I'm sure that you have a belief in heaven and hell. According to some Christian beliefs: worrying, anxiety, and depression is the work of the devil trying to bare down on us and get us to not trust in God. If this is your belief, than know that according to this thinking: you can combat the demons (anxiety, fear, worry, etc), rebuke them, and strive to live a less stressful lifestyle.
But that would be easy... which is why we are battling all the time....
