Worry means you don't really trust God. You don't trust him to keep his word and take care of you. You don't trust that he is able. You don't trust that he is loving. You don't trust God so you are basically saying "I don't believe you" "I'm on my own in everything" "No one will take care of me but me" In a sense you are saying God's not really there..
Or maybe you are questioning God in general. How can you trust someone you don't really know? This is where I have been at. I knew God. Then I lost my footing because of verses that suddenly troubled me. But look outside. Look at the sun and the moon and the stars. See how small you are on this earth. This earth is actually only a speck in the universe. There are multitudes of Galaxies. Endless. We are so small, just created human beings. Our bodies and our souls.. they were created and belong to God. I was reminded of this and became humbled.
There are verses that say God is a loving merciful God. No you cant save yourself in your own power because you don't have power in and of yourself. You cant will yourself to be saved. It must be God's mercy. His mercy saves you. Through the blood of Jesus. Faith in him is the requirement. If you are struggling, pray with a humble heart. Ask him to reveal himself to you. But remember you are not God. Learn who he is.
Then you can begin to trust him.
Then you can let worry go.
