Trusting... our biggest challenge?

I'm not exactly sure whether the the dizzy ,gaspy , frightened , pit in my stomach sensation sensation is that I get when something big is put on my plate but I do know that my first reaction is: 
what about _______ ? when will we next see______ ? what about our _______ ? fill in the blanks. I have this problem a lot whether I actually voice my fears doubts and anxiety or I ponder them in my mind I always feel foolish and guilty  for not praying and fulfilling 

Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

This is one of the memory verses from home-school.  One thing I really struggle with is worrying about school due to when I was born I will not be able to start high school till next year (I'll be 15)
and I constantly worry about graduating till I'm 19 I feel like by graduating then I'll waist a precious year that I could be using to serve GOD , my family , and community .  This is were I fail to trust God's plan for my life : if I'm to serve , God we'll enable me to serve, If I am to marry , God will enable me to marry, If I am to advance to becoming a CPM  (certified professional midwife ) God will enable me to advance. I also struggle with trusting GOD to keep my family safe when we are parted! (As if I can keep then safe!) I hope you are encouraged or reminded of God's promises and command to trust .
Even just writing this encourages me to be at peace and obey God's calling to trust~
