  into your life arent anything new and different.

Rejoice through Prayer

  Rejoice! 6Do not be anxious about anything, but
  in everything, by prayer and petition, with
  thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

• Look up. Ask God to give you His perspective on
  situations so you can keep the big picture in
  mind and avoid being weighed down by smaller
  concerns. Spend time outside in nature regularly,
  and let it give you a greater sense of awe for
  the Creator. Wander away from streetlights and
  look beyond them to the stars. Let the glory of
  the natural world - both the beauty of its design
  and the horror of its fallen state - overtake you
  so that the details of your life's routines seem
  less urgent. Take time to thank God for His
  enormous efforts to restore what sin had spoiled
  in the world.
