Learn to Pray Continually Over All Things
In Luke 21, Jesus speaks of the end times and of many difficulties that will come in the last days.
Jesus says:
Luke 21:34-36 And
take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged
with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that
day come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

When we pray always, taking every trouble to God, we put our trust in God. Prayer to God causes us to be "worthy to escape", connecting us to God.
Often we want to tell other humans our problem, turning to humans.
People might want to help but be unable to help.
God
knows all things about the situation and will give us wisdom to deal
with the issues when we turn to HIM seeking HIS wisdom through prayer.
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Keep
this scripture before you day and night, thinking of that which is
promised in this scripture, until you have this in your heart and can
believe what this scripture says.
God showed Joshua the way to overcome on this present earth and these instructions given to Joshua apply to us today.
Joshua 1:8 God says ... This
book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt
meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according
to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way
prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
The apostle Paul says:
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

As you go forward from today, focus on learning to ask God for wisdom, praying in everything, knowing God will give you wisdom to deal with the matter when you ask HIM.
Keep James 1:5 before your eyes daily until you can really believe this scripture and do this scripture every day.
* James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
*****
When you really believe this scripture, then begin doing this scripture by faith, knowing God will communicate HIS wisdom to you so you can do HIS will in the matter at hand.
By
meditating on scripture daily until you are strong enough to believe
that scripture and do that scripture, you develop a very deep root
system in God.
