It's pretty clear that a lot of our worries are about what-ifs? What if something bad happens? How will I cope when a storm comes? If my world falls apart, will I? Oh, what a vicious cycle that kind of worry and projection is!
If we keep telling ourselves scary stories about all the things that might happen, we're going to get scared! Stop it! Let's take our thoughts captive in obedience to Christ, and choose to focus on how He's providing for us right here and now. God will keep in perfect peace the person whose mind is stayed on Him. Even if things aren't so purty for us in the present, He's still here, making sure that we have what we need to be okay. Paul assured us of that truth: " God will meet all our ( yours & mine) needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus".
(Phil. 4:19 niv)

( And that means ALL----Everyone who is saved and serving Jesus as thier own personal Savior and Lord! So trust and obey, for there's no other way but having faith in Him! My words!! )
God Bless!
